5 stars for everything
I had a truly wonderful week at Karen's apartment in St Kilda. My work has me constantly travelling around the world so it was wonderful to find a place that was more like a home away from home rather than another temporary spot to unpack my bags. The apartment offers beautiful décor, furnishings, appliances and outdoor areas in a luxurious environment. Karen is a joy to deal with and provided all the advice and support necessary to make the AirB&B experience first class. While the apartment is not in the centre of things it is very convenient and was perfect for my needs as it provides easy parking and was perfect for friends to visit and for pick ups. I had busy days and it was such a joy to return to the apartment in the evening and enjoy preparing a meal in the beautiful kitchen and relaxing with friends. The bed was super comfortable and the oversized bathroom had one of the best showers I have ever experienced. I highly recommend Karen's apartment both in terms of value for money and comfort. I will definitely be back - next time in summer to enjoy the pool!!
As an aside - one piece of advice that has nothing to do with the apartment but hopefully will be useful is that....... if you are an Uber user for some bizarre reason the Uber GPS pins the location in the street running parallel behind Nelson St (Wellington Street). Nelson Street runs one way and cannot be entered from Wellington Street and as a result 4 drivers cancelled and the last reversed down the street. So if you are arranging Uber/Taxi or giving directions to friends for pick ups you just need to be proactive about giving directions on the need to enter Nelson Street from Punt Road.
