Samir's apartment is quite comfortable, well equipped and tastefully eclectic. The location is great as it is close to all the action of St. Kilda yet removed enough to be quiet and peaceful. Samir has the best books and is quite an interesting host with tons of information on all the great things going on in Melbourne. The school is a little noisy across the street during the day but it actually adds to the local charm. Staying here was really nice and relaxing and I would recommend checking it out. Cheers
