This was our very first experience of Airbnb and Vicki made it an extremely positive one. Her communication was fantastic, even sending a message a day or two before we arrived which really helped to ease any uncertainty we may have been feeling due to the unfamiliarity of this experience.

The self check in was a breeze and the chalet is gorgeous. It was everything and more than what we were expecting. You really feel at home with all the touches Vicki has put in. The chalet is really comfortable and is truly like a little oasis. You wouldn't believe you were in a city, it is so quiet and private.

St Kilda itself is a charming area, we loved it. The beach is a 10 minute walk, and has a lovely little market on the weekend. With the iconic Luna Park, there are some nice bars to enjoy the view. The shops are very local, Coles (supermarket) is about a 10 minute walk.
The tram was a breeze getting in and out of Melbourne, only 15 - 20 minutes and they are very frequent.

If you require an coach transfer to Melbourne Airport, I would recommend using Frankston and Peninsula Airport Bus who pick up from St Kilda, literally round the corner from the chalet on Barkly St - $1 more than the Airport Shuttle but saves you going into Melbourne (eg saves you buying your own Myki card or a taxi) I think we paid $18 each.

Thank you Vicki for such a lovely stay. We look forward to returning sooner than later!
