What a fabulous 6 week stay we had in this apartment, so many wonderful things to mention, it is exactly as it appears in the photos and being on the ground floor with a courtyard was so wonderful as we took our cat with us, she loved lying in the enclosed and protected space. The host is super responsive and helpful, checking that we were okay and asking if we needed anything else. It was lovely to arrive and have milk, bread and wine left to get us started. One of the many benefits of this apartment is the location, Coles and Woolworths are down the street, Aldi is also close but a little further to walk. There is a tram at the door (number 16) and another (number 96) just down the street, that takes you to the city too but also stops at South Melbourne markets a must see if you are staying for awhile. If you wander up to Balaclava more shops and the train which is a quicker trip into Flinders street. Even though we had our car we never used it while in Melbourne proper as their transport is just so frequent and reliable. Then there’s the beach and foreshore just a short walk down the street, either side of St Kilda there are many beaches to visit and the foreshore walk is lovely and is flat, so easy. There are coffee shops, restaurants, cake shops, pubs and op shops all on the doorstep so to speak. St Kilda Botanical Gardens are also just a short walk away. I can highly recommend this apartment to fellow travellers as long as you don’t want to stay there when we do!!
