I didn't meet the hosts as key collection was from a lock up box. Nonetheless I felt welcomed by the home made jam that greeted me on arrival and I was very happy with the apartment, which did indeed look like the picture. Punt Road is not the liveliest area but that suited me and the place is an easy walk from South Yarra train station. It'sis close to Fawkner Park with easy access by public transport to St Kilda. I rented a bike for the day from Pista Bikes to cycle down the coast and there's also the Melbourne City Bikes scheme to avail of.
