This is a great place to stay. It is close to the city but not too close if you want to get away from all the noise. It is so close to tram lines, but you can't hear them. South Melbourne market is only a 10-minute walk, and South Melbourne is a great spot too for good food and coffee. Very nice apartment and don't think it is too cold for the spa-we went in winter and the spa was boiling-lovely way to unwind. Andrew's instructions were great.
