We thought the loc was brilliant! It allowed us to rollerblade along the beach and all sorts! It really is 2 blocks from the beach, we enjoyed st kilda while we stayed.
Although Sandra's communication tarnished my stay (as she mixed up our check out times, we were meant to check out the day after she called me from inside our accommodation disgruntled and frustrated at the fact we had'int left) Aside from this we appreciated the location of the place and acknowledge accidents can happen! We all lead busy lifes. The key here really is in the tone and content of communication.
Most hostels are around $70 per night for a private room, this place is $14 more for that we got to be closer to the beach and have personal access.
Thanks for our stay Sandra
