Ben's place is in a fabulous location right across the road from the St Kilda foreshore. We arrived on the day of the St Kilda Festival, which Ben had let us know about the day before, so parking was a little tricky. However, we managed to unload our luggage and drove around the block, thinking we would have to do this for a while until a park became available. On the first time around, we found one, and with Ben's parking permit, we could leave the car there until the next day, when a park right out the front of the apartment became available. Ben's place is literally a five minute walk to Acland street to all the restaurants and cafes and within a 10 minute walk to Fitzroy street. The apartment itself was clean and Ben had provided us with eggs, bread and milk and bottled water, which was appreciated. A coffee machine was also available for use, along with numerous pantry items. The bed was comfortable, and there was also a reasonably sized court yard out the back, which was lovely to sit out in the sun to eat our breakfast. We had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Thanks for having us Ben.
