Jane's apartment is the ideal base for a trip to Melbourne. A 10 minute walk and a 10 minute tram ride gets you to the centre of Melbourne and there lots of shops and eating places close by. The apartment itself is on the ground floor of the unit complex which has an outdoor heated pool, spa and gym. We found the secure off-street parking great as we were able to store our purchases( we were on a shopping trip for items for our new house) in our car in the garage and feel that they were secure and with space under cover where we could take it all out and organise it for our trip home. The apartment is well equiped and well organised with a few nice little extras like a supply of condiments and a range of breakfast cereals and located about 3 blocks from the supermarket. Being a block back from the beach, it was nice and quiet with little traffic noise and yet only a short stroll from the beach. All in all, we found it to be a great place and just what we needed. Jane even managed to organise for us to check in early after our overnight ferry trip from Tasmania, something we really appreciated - Thank you Jane.
