Very nice 'little' annex. Situated very near Elsternwick and Ripponlea, both with good food and shops without the crowds of the CBD. You could go to the cafes at lunctime and there will be ample of space. I highly recommend Mothers Instincts, Saigon Hut and Aviv Bakery! It's slightly closer to Elsternwick Station than Ripponlea. It's a quiet suburb but is in no way dead.
Small staircase leads to the spacious annex. I would certainly stay medium/long-term if I had a need to. Very homely. The bed was nice and cosy with lots of pillows, huge plus. It's was really quiet, no problems getting a good sleep.
The showers would be a little of an inconvenience if you are big and tall like me, but it's not something that bothers me.
When I arrived, there was bread, butter, jam, milk and other daily necessities ready. Really impressed.
If taking an Uber, I recommend putting in 14 Hotham Grove as the address. Just walk straight out and it's a good spot to be picked up.
In short, it's perfect!
Thanks Abigail!
