What a gorgeous convenient apartment.
The apartment itself...has everything you need. Comfortable, equipped, peaceful but perfect distance from an array of amazing restaurants, cafes and shops, as well as the sea! Perfect place if you want to explore St Kilda or Melbourne city itself, or indeed the wider area such as the great ocean road and nearby vineyards. Also great place to chill out in - if you don't want to be out and about all the time the apartment is really nice to be in - great wifi, 2 tvs and lovely garden plus great kitchen if you fancy cooking.

The area...is really something special. Having never been to Oz before, I really fell in love with Melbourne in general as well as St Kilda. It reminds me of London, but the weather is better and there is something lovely and chilled out about Melbourne. Please try Cicciolina if you like italian food- suggest you make a night of it, have a few aperols spritzs and sample the local wine, plus AMAZING italian food - wholesome and authentic - also a 10 minute walk from the apartment. There are lots of lovely cafes and shops around Cicciolina too as well as on the main drag of Fitzroy Street.
If you go into the city we recommend the moonlight cinema in the summer, the botanic gardens, the many rooftop bars in melbourne. Fiorentina restaurant in the city is another lovely italian. Also the gin palace and Siglo. Also head to Brunswick street for really lovely restaurants, cafes and independent shops - as well of loads of lovely vintage places if you like that kind of thing. Also you must go to the night market at Queen Victoria Market on a wednesday in the summer - great food, music and stalls.

Michael...could not have been more accommodating or helpful before and during our stay. Communication was prompt and helpful, he gave us some fab recommendations - couldn't recommend more!
