Julia was gracious and wanted to make our stay comfortable -- and it was. All the necessities -- and more -- were provided. The home was private. The neighborhood felt very safe, and it was quiet. We used the Bridge Street Coles Food Store and the Chemist Warehouse (drugstore) (about 8 to 10 minute walks) most often, and we even used the tram if we felt lazy and wanted to cut some blocks off upon our return from the store. The Myki pass came in handy for both the trams on Bridge and Swan and for the Burnley train on Swan. The trams were about 5 minutes away, and the train about 10 minutes away -- walking. The Myki also came in very handy for trips to and from the CBD (about 20 minutes). There were nice eating out restaurants on Bridge. The trams, going east on Bridge, meet the Yarra River and the leisurely, easy walking Capital City Trail (less than a mile). . . . Because we were there for a month, we made good use of the Melbourne Entertainment.com book for a good deal of discounted activities and restaurants.
