We were 2 middle aged couples in Melbourne for the week for the Aus Open tennis. Yael's place was ideal. It is a beautifully renovated older home with one bedroom and bathroom downstairs and the same upstairs. All mod cons with a generous lounge, dining & kitchen area. 2 minutes walk to the train but the house is well insulated from any road or train noise. Local shops one block away fill most needs with the main Balaclava shopping strip a 5 minute drive with plenty of restaurants etc. St Kilda & Elwood beaches are a 10 minute drive. Highly recommended for couples and families looking for a relaxed stay in spacious surrounds.
