When I went to book this little place, the Airbnb 'banner' at the top of the webpage said "This is a rare find! Adam and Claudia's place is usually booked out!" - and it's not hard to see why. We stayed in this 2br unit with 3 kids (5,3 and 1) and would happily do so again. In terms of making it comfortable for families, it was the little things that made it great - having a good size bath (instead of just a shower) in which to wash the kids, warm and comfy beds, space for a portacot in the queen size room, quick and easy access to supermarket and public transport, close to Botanic Gardens and playgrounds, a washing machine, a basket of toys, easy pram access on the roads making walking with kids a non-issue - there's so much to love! We weren't after an "action packed" holiday, rather just the chance to do 'normal life' in a different setting. Staying at Foster Street allowed us to do exactly that. Good coffee for my hubby and I and a walk to the Esplanade or nearby playground for the kids meant we could all relax. The apartment is right in St Kilda and it was so easy to hop on a tram and get into the city, no trouble. But when you got back to the lovely, quiet and leafy Foster street, it was easy to relax and feel like the city was a world away. We'd definitely stay here again and recommend it to others! The only down side was finding a car space at times. There's quite a number of available spaces on the street though most of them are marked 2 or 4 hrs. Though I think this issue is currently being resolved with a provision of a parking permit for future guests. We dealt with Adam the host and he was more than prompt, helpful, and friendly in all our communication. I did not know what to expect with this being our first airbnb experience but we couldn't be happier!
