Great location for us. Loved our walks down the coast or along the tree lined streets with gorgeous heritage houses to Middle park, Albert park and Port Melbourne. St Kilda more appealing for a younger generation but great for a coffee in the daytime. Tram service outside and others a short walk away, are easy to use and great for exploring the city.
The apartment is well equipped but I did find the sitting room a little dark due to the exclusion of light from the trees. Not helped by the dark and large pieces of furniture. The darkness, however was an advantage in bedroom which together with good air con helped us have some good nights sleep.
We didn’t and no one seems to use the outside space but I believe this maybe about to be re landscaped which may make it more inviting.
We used the place as a base to explore this part of Australia and visit family. Favourite part was a trip down the ocean road.
