Best location. You could easily walk into the city but this sweet house has three tram stops just a couple of minutes walk away that take you to the beach, the city and beyond.
Albert Park village has cafes, restaurants, gourmet food stores and cool bars. Clarendon Street, also a stroll away, has a different vibe, but lots of the above to explore as well. (If the beach is not your thing, or if you are visiting in the cooler months, Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre has two 50-metre pools, and is across the road.) And, of course, come March the Grand Prix is right next door.
Lovely house. Compact but stylish, light and bright. Vine-covered courtyard a delight. All the amenities you need for either a short or long stay. Nice linen - lots of towels, gotta like that - and pantry and fridge were well stocked.
Host Michael is most accommodating, nothing is too much trouble and he always replies immediately if you have any queries. He even provides a trolley for a must-do visit to the nearby South Melbourne market.
A winner by all measures.
