We enjoyed our time at Damian's and Natasha's place. We spent the weekend in the area including visiting friends in Caulfield North as well as going to St. Kilda's and the MCG. So the location worked great. We were also able to take the tram early Monday downtown on Balaclava to meet a day tour to the Grampians. Very easy! There was a convenience store within a few storefronts where we purchased milk and cereal for breakfast plus there were numerous cafes right on Hawthorn and Balaclava. The apartment is super clean and modern. We had no issues with any appliance or fixture which was a big plus when you are traveling. Great option if you need this suburban location!
