Alison's place is situated right by the beach on St.Kilda West. Location wise, it's pretty good with the No. 12 tram by your doorstep and Fitzroy St only 10 mins walk away. Frankie's Cafe is across the road if you need an early morning caffeine injection without walking too far.
The apartment itself is functional, clean with most amenities you would expect and the host was kind enough to leave some goodies in the fridge including a bottle of wine.
However, we had problems with the shower which didn't get sorted out until the last day of our stay. The host was communicative throughout and active in trying to resolve it during our stay.
It would have been nice if we had access to more than 1 set of towels as we were staying for 6 days. To be fair we requested it on Friday and the Host indicated that it might be difficult due to time constraints.
Despite our hiccups, I would still urge people to consider Alison's place strongly.
