They were a very enjoyable 4 days I spent with JJ and Sheraleen in their modern flat in The Old Sugar Factory. Sea-front position with big views of the sea through the palm trees. Big very comfortable bed, loads of space for clothes, own TV and own bathroom.
Breakfast worked well. It was put out for me in the kitchen and I could just help myself at whatever time.
The location is excellent. It's three mins to Bay Street where the cafés and restaurants are, and another three mins to the 109 light railway which gets you into Melbourne centre in ten mins. There's also a bus service Into town that I used from right outside the flats.
St Kilda is only ten mins along the coast by bus or bike. In fact I borrowed a bike from JJ one day and had a lovely, safe ride to the MCG and beyond, all along the Yarra River.
There's a good stock of info provided.
In short, JJ and Sheraleen are lovely and attentive hosts, happy to leave you be or to have good long interesting conversations.
