One word ... Location! Where else in Melbourne are you 20-minutes walking distance from St Kilda Beach, Albert Park Lake (and adjacent Queens Parade Conference Centre precinct), St Kilda Road leading to the heart of the city, and Chapel Street in South Yarra. The room itself is spacious and clean, and the facilities were immaculate. The flexibility to come and go as I required; which was 5.30AM and 11.00PM; was appreciated. Shannon's housemate Franco made me feel instantly at home. I have no hesitation to give this listing 5-stars!
