We had a great time staying at Vic & Dougal’s place in South Yarra! The kids are a little too young to properly enjoy the nightlife, but it’s still fun to be somewhere with such a fun vibe and great cafes and restaurants, all within walking distance. We also took trams into the city and to the beach. No need for a car!
Staying at home was also comfortable: there were a few hot days where it was nice to have the air con, and I appreciated the functional remote work setup.
