We had a brilliant time at Joe's "Palais" apartment!
Firstly to Joe - what a guy! Joe goes above and beyond in his hosting of guests. He is a beautiful breath of fresh air in what is quite a hectic city. He greeted us with a sense of familiarity and immediately helped us settle in. He provided us with all the information we needed on the best places to eat in Melbourne. He is a kind, warm and open person.
The apartment itself is fantastically positioned in the heart of St Kilda and has a million dollar view of the iconic Palais Theatre. The apartment is very tastefully decorated and was beautifully clean. We felt very at home there.
The only downside to staying at this great apartment is that Saturday evenings are very loud and for a fuddy duddy like me it may make sleep impossible until about 2am. Otherwise, the apartment is a blissful haven from the hustle and bustle below.
Overall, this experience was wonderful and we will certainly be looking to Joe and his apartments for our next trip to Melbourne.
