I stayed here about five years ago and made it a point to come back. These hosts, Herman and Christine are unbelievable. They take care of you and every last detail. They are filled with information, maps and directions. They make certain you have everything to be comfortable. They offer a choice of pillows:foam, feather and fiber. Fresh towels and flexible check in and check out. I felt spoiled (even guilty) when they cleaned up after I cooked. Their service is equal to any 5 star hotel. The dog, Ping Pong, is so sweet. He is so gentle and he never barks. The pool that is so nice, heated with crystal clear water. This time I remembered to pack my swim suit. The location is perfect, 8 trams, as described going up and down Swanston/St Kilda. Now convenient is that! I said it before and I say it again THE ONLY PLACE TO STAY IN MELBOURNE IS HERE WITH HERMAN AND CHRISTINE
