We had a great 2 days in Natalie's apartment in St Kilda.
Even though we didn't meet her, communication has been excellent all the way through.
The flat is spacious, confortable beds, rather cool despite the heat outside as it is on the ground floor.
Tram n.12 passes on the street outside. Tram n.16 a few blocks away at St Kilda junction. Roughly 20min to go downtown.
Very convenient.
St Kilda pier is about 15min walking distance, perfect to watch Little Penguins after sunset.
The beach nearby is not really appropriate to take a swim.
Luna Park is a couple of kilometers away.
