The location of Steph's flat could not have been any better, right in the heart of Ormond Road near the neighborhood shopping area with three grocery stores, a butcher, three bakeries, several restaurants and delis, and a ton of coffee shops as well as a post office and newsagent. You really didn't have to leave! It was lovely to walk there each day for my morning coffee. The locals are very friendly. 10 minutes walk to the beach, and easy access to public transport and main roads. The flat is compact but for a month it is great. My only little gripe is there is no TV but I am sure that can easily be rectified. Would definitely stay there again (if Steph got a TV so I could watch the Aussie Open).
