My husband and I spent a wonderful week in Melbourne at the Australian Open and this apartment was the perfect location for us. It was an easy tram ride into the CBD to attend the Open and a wonderful place to come back to in the evening. The view is unbeatable...the beach is right across the road and the sunsets were gorgeous. The beach was delightful and the walkways all around the area were spectacular. St. Kilda's "vibe" is great and the nearby restaurants and amusement park were so much fun. The area is lively and the traffic noise comes early but this did not bother us in the least as we wanted to get up early to enjoy full days! The communication with our host was great and an early check in was accommodated. We would definitely recommend this apartment!
