We found the apartment spacious, clean, conveniently located, with an exceptionally well equipped kitchen. There was plenty of room to lay out our computers, watch TV, relax in the hammock, prepare food and eat. There is an easy walk to the shops and Avalon beach. We liked avoiding the heat of the middle of the day, preferring to stroll down at the beginning and/or at the end. Situated just off the main road, the neighborhood is quiet; the birds are probably the noisiest locals, and we loved them. The Avalon shopping centre features Woolies, an excellent butcher, a fishmonger, and too many cafes to count: we bought fresh beans and used the expresso maker in the apartment to brew our own. Margie and Iain were very considerate hosts, promptly responded to our few questions, and left us to ourselves. We would certainly return.
