This was the perfect city stay – we we were in the heart of St Kilda, and yet cosily secluded at the same time. The George is a shabby chic art deco marvel and I felt glamorous just living there for a weekend. The apartment is super stylish, spick and span, and with a distinct luxe vibe – everything from the artwork to the toiletries is carefully curated and kind of delicious. It's small and uncluttered but at the same time contains everything you need – including beach towels if you decide on an impromptu swim at St Kilda beach and a shopping bag so you don't have to accumulate plastic. Seriously, they've thought of everything.
If you do need help, Celia and Virginia are lovely and very responsive. They provide copious notes about what to do and how to get there. You are situated close to everything – the tram is right in front of you so you can be in the city in a jiffy.
The high ceilings, painted shutters and floorboards all felt very Manhattan. We loved it – will be back.
