My mother and I stayed in this brand new apartment and we had a very comfortable stay. Because we were in Melbourne we went out for meals but the kitchen at the apartment had everything you needed if you want to eat in. We made good use of the lap pool - had it to ourselves most days so that is a bonus. The gym is well equipped. It's just a short walk to the trams which take you to St Kilda in about 10mins ... it's longer to get into the city. We didn't find much within easy walking distance for dinner - so just be prepared to get public transport/über /taxi.
Very helpful host.
