Okay. First of all let's talk about the location. So close to Lygon St and Sydney road. But also a 2 min walk from a tram stop that can take you into central Melbourne within 15 mins and further on to St Kilda. But most importantly you get to stay with Ivana and her family. Don't worry the accommodation is most certainly private and not shared. But they are perfect hosts. Their bijoux studio is perfect. If I ever manage another solo escape to Melbourne I will without a doubt stay here again. I just can't recommend this place highly enough.
