My family- two adults and two kids aged 4 and 6- just stayed in Claire’s place for five months. We absolutely loved it.
First, the location is incredible. This apartment is in a perfect jumping off place for exploring Melbourne. It is a short walk to the St Kilda beach, and an even shorter walk to the trams that are a quick ride to downtown and many other destinations. It is a bit away from the hubbub of the city, yet jam-packed with restaurants and things to do within walking distance. And it is great for families- the beach and penguins are so close and the best playground we have ever been to is just around the corner.
Second, the apartment is beautiful, spacious, and cozy. It is well-decorated and well-stocked. We immediately felt at home. The bedrooms and the living room are large and our family of four lived here very comfortably. We appreciated the decorations, which gave the apartment personality and made it enjoyable to live in from day one. The kitchen is modern and well-stocked and Claire provides many useful items such as beach towels and chairs, backpacks and beach toys for days out, kids toys for days in, among many other things.
Finally, Claire was extremely responsive every time we reached out to her with any questions. We felt very well taken care of.
We could not recommend this apartment and location more highly. It is great for families, couples, or small groups! We consider it our home away from home!
