If I could give this host and this apartment a 100 star rating, I would. Gail's flat in St. Kilda West is stunning. It's is tastefully decorated in a welcoming way. Located in a great part of the greater Melbourne area with easy access to anything guests might want to do. An easy walk from the tram/bus stop and close to a terrific restaurant that became our favorite spot in short order. If you love a water view, this is your spot with daily ever-changing views of the sky, boats and kite surfers. Gail contacted us for details about what we'd like to get started, food-wise, after our first night's stay and provided a several page packet with detailed information about the apartment and its appliances as well as recommendations of area cafes, coffee shops and restaurants as well as sights to see. Our only complaint was in this untypically hot and humid summer there is no air conditioning but Gail left us numerous fans so it didn't hamper our stay or sleep at all. If you're into cooking, Gail has a full chef's kitchen and a dishwasher. We can't say enough great things about our host and St. Kilda West home for 5 weeks. Treat yourself to this wonderful place on earth.
