St Kilda is a great area not far from the cbd but also close to the beach and the shopping mecca of Chapel Street. This studio apartment is conveniently placed near the Alma St tram stop to the city and easy walking distance to other areas. The apartment is compact and private, and Barbara's thoughtful extra touches were really appreciated. I had come off 29 hours of flights in a day and a half, arrived after midnight, and was so thankful to find breakfast food in the fridge and a selection of fresh fruit in a bowl. There was even a cheeky bottle of wine! Barbara had 2 Myki cards available for use - I have my own so didn't need to use them but again, the kind of personal touch that makes you feel welcome and looked after. Barbara's communication was polite and punctual and the key pick up/drop off easily managed. This was a little haven for me for the few days I was in Melbourne and I can heartily recommend it to others.
