I've always fancied a garret and our 3 nights at Studio Alouette confirmed what a great idea these are. Even in Melbourne summer without the air conditioner running, Studio Alouette remains cool. The view to the east with the trees in the background is fantastic, street parking is easy and it's a very quiet street. A few blocks away on Beaconsfield Parade a very nice swimming beach, lovely clear water in early Jan 2023. A mere block away is a 7 Eleven for any minor items you need, numerous cafes and coffee shops. We loved our time at this AirBnB and look forward to another visit in the future. It's a great position with a real, friendly, private neighbourhood feel. Great restaurants closeby and of course the South Melbourne market.
