Elwood is a lovely neighbourhood and Jane’s unit nestles in its heart on a quiet tree-lined street. The place is cosy and comfortable, with good quality fittings throughout. The place has real style too, with original art work and prints on the walls, smart décor and modern kitchen and bathroom. Outside there’s a private courtyard area that runs along two sides of the unit, filled with native plants and getting shade from overhanging trees. Jane arranged for me to use a bike, which was a great boon as I meant I could get down to the beach in five minutes, explore the bay, and shop in Brighton and St Kilda. It’s about a ten minutes walk to Elsternwick station with trains every 10-15 minutes into the city, or a tram that connects you to the entire network. Buses are infrequent however.
