Ananda made us feel very welcome, the location of the flat is superb: close to restaurants, shops and the beach in St Kilda. The botanical gardens opposite are great. Our winter stay was ok but I expect it would be better in the summer. It's worth noting the double bed is small so if you are tall you may not be very comfortable in this apartment. It often felt colder in the bedrooms than outside so extra blankets would have been handy. There was a heater in the lounge which was welcome. The flat was clean and the laundry facilities with tumble dryer was an extra bonus.
