Emilie's place is a great location. A short walk to the beach and a terrific playground. Plenty of places to eat with the main restaurants only 2 blocks away. (I would definitely recommend Foddies Cafe, especially if you have any food intolerances). It is easy to catch the No.1 tram into the city from Victoria St., a 15min ride and you are at Federation Square.
The house was perfect for us. 2 large bedrooms, a great comfortable living area and a backyard. Emilie left plenty of toys for our little girl to play with and on those winter Melbourne days they provided lots of entertainment without having to venture out into the cold. The living room gas heater made the living area cosy, unfortunately it didn't warm the kitchen and bathroom (my only real criticism). Everything else was great...lots of space, all the kitchen equipment you could need ( a microwave would be useful but there is a great stove!), comfortable beds, modern TV, and access to fast wi-fi. I would definitely recommend Emilie's place and would stay here again next time....I hope it is summer so I can make better use of the beach around the corner.
