We stayed three nights at Laura’s place over a weekend. The apartment had wow factor, it was so spacious and clean, and we loved the personal touches and huge comfy king sized bed. The location was perfect for accessing what we wanted (St Kilda, South Melb, city, Albert Park, Botanic Gardens). Trams were easy to access, within a couple of blocks, no car needed unless heading out of town. I would suggest taking earplugs as there is some construction going on in the area, but otherwise it was a quiet pocket of South Melb and an excellent base.
