Charlotte's apartment is amazing. It is in an older block but the wow factor as soon as you walk though the door is amazing. It is furnished and finished in a very stylish retro 60s pop art way, with some amusing ironic touches (the drinks trolly for one) and is full of everything you need for a comfortable stay.
The kitchen is great, new dishwasher, oven, gas stove top. Heap of good quality crockery, pots and pans, knives. Microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee maker, sandwich press. Plenty of bench space and storage and a great place to put your laptop and do some work looking out over the park.
Bedrooms were very comfortable with lots of extra bedding and wardrobe space. Both were fitted with ceiling fans.
Large tv in the lounge with Netflix was great and the a/c was much appreciated as Melbourne was having a week of summer weather. Wifi was good and seems quick enough for everything we needed it for.
The apartment was full of thoughtful touches...not just 2 dishwasher tabs but a bag, a box of laundry detergent, iron, ironing board, drying rack, soaps, shampoo and conditioner in the shower.
The location overlooks the St Kilda Botanic Gardens and is just a short walk to the tram on Acland St or to St Kilda beach front. The street seems to be quiet overnight with not much traffic and I always managed to find a convenience parking space on the street.
The whole apartment was clean and beautifully presented. Not sure that there was anything missing that I would have wanted.
