I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Barbara's apartment! It is wonderfully located in St. Kilda in walking distance to the beach and was a perfect starting point for sunrise and sunset walks. I was really happy to find everything needed in the apartment to start me off upon my arrival: toiletries as well as lots of snacks and other kitchen staples. Barbara provided plenty of information about Melbourne, which was very useful in planning the touristic aspects of my stay. In addition, the little touches--like the two public transportation passes, the bicycles, and the parking passes--are examples of the thoughtfulness and care with which Barbara hosts her guests. Check-in and check-out were as easy as imaginable and essentially automated. I spent two great weeks in the apartment and would happily return.
