Apartment in Saint Kilda

About this apartment rental
The apartment sleeps five across two queen bedrooms and a sofa bed in the living room, though it works best for two couples or a small group who want the beach on their doorstep and the city within easy reach. The rooms are airy and well-proportioned, with period details that sit comfortably alongside modern comforts. The front patio is partially enclosed and faces the street - it is where you will drink your first coffee of the morning before deciding whether to cross the road to the beach or walk one minute to Acland Street for breakfast.
The kitchen is properly equipped, with a Nespresso machine, a dishwasher, and everything needed for a proper meal. The bathroom has a shower and a small bathtub. Beach towels are provided. The building has a cafe on the ground floor, which takes care of the mornings when you do not want to think about it.
The apartment is on the first floor with one flight of stairs. Check-in is via smart lock, so there is no need to coordinate arrival times. Free street parking is available on Marine Parade, subject to signage.
The entire apartment is yours for the duration of your stay. Both bedrooms, the bathroom, the living area, the kitchen, and the front patio. Check-in is via smart lock using a code provided prior to your arrival. The cafe in the building is independently operated and open to the public.
I will be available throughout your stay via Airbnb App
St Kilda is one of the few Melbourne suburbs that earns its reputation every time. Marine Parade sits at its heart - a wide, palm-lined boulevard that runs the length of the beach with Luna Park at one end and the Esplanade at the other.
Acland Street is a one-minute walk from the front door and has some of Melbourne's most well-known cake shops, a good selection of restaurants, and the kind of casual European cafe culture that the suburb has traded on for decades. Fitzroy Street is a few minutes further and offers a different evening entirely - longer, louder, and more suited to the kind of night that starts with dinner and ends with something unplanned.
St Kilda Pier is a three-minute walk. At dusk, the little penguins that nest under the pier come in from the bay, which is one of those Melbourne experiences that surprises people every time. The Palais Theatre is nearby for shows worth dressing up for. The Sunday Esplanade Market runs along the beachfront promenade and is worth at least one slow morning browsing it.
The tram stop is directly in front of the building on Marine Parade. Routes 96, 16, and 12 all run from here, connecting St Kilda to the CBD in around 20 minutes without needing to think about parking.
The tram stop is outside the front door. Routes 96 and 16 run direct to the Melbourne CBD and connect to the broader network at Flinders Street. A car is useful for day trips - the Mornington Peninsula and the Yarra Valley are both roughly an hour - but St Kilda itself is highly walkable and the tram handles most of what the city offers.
