This is a wonderful place to stay. It’s very spacious, well-kept and designed, part of a heritage mansion home. I found it to be very private and quiet despite being near main the street. It’s located near St Kilda beach and other beaches as you walk in either direction, and it’s also easy to get to the city centre. I walked, took a tram right out the front door or took an uber to get to farther parts of the city. All are great ways to explore. There are several good coffee shops, restaurants and general shops nearby if you enjoy going out, but it’s a perfectly good space to enjoy your time or get work done in your own space. The apartment is well-equipped with appliances, so cooking at ‘home’ was a pleasure. Lesley and Stephen were also easy to contact if anything arose. I highly recommend staying here if you want to enjoy Melbourne in a home base of luxury and privacy.
