This is a very magical and special place - serene, quiet and oh-so beautiful. The studio is simply gorgeous and feels very Moroccan, set in a lovely garden, with a little quiet outside sitting area. The location is excellent - close to beautiful Elwood beach and to vibrant St Kilda, within an easy drive to the centre of the city. Banu is such a genuine super-host: welcoming and extremely generous. We were able to use her pool and she even loaned us her own bicycles so that we could cycle along the scenic beach bike paths. We had such a fabulously stay and were sad to go! Heartfelt thanks - we hope to be back!
