Hello!

**PICTURES TO COME SHORTLY**

We are FINALLY off to get married this year in Italy and are heading back to the UK for two months to catch up with our family and friends as we are both from Wales. We live in a two-bed apartment in St Kilda West - a short five min walk to west beach pavilion, a wonderful coffee shop around the corner and albert park about ten mins walk away. We have the number 12 and 96 tram stops very close by, providing easy access to the city.

Our fur baby Carrie (cat) has the most wonderful temperament and is very affectionate. She recently had some Glaucoma which has resulted in her right eye becoming permanently blind, however, will still run around and follow you into the kitchen if she knows there's food around. We have a car that we will also be leaving, should there be any emergencies her vets is a 8 min drive away.

We have an office space in the spare bedroom if you are requiring to do any work with internet that works throughout the apartment. As it will be getting colder here in Melbourne during these months, we also have a bath to have a relaxing soak in.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

ST KILDA WEST Melbourne, Victoria
Suburb Insights
Your mornings in St Kilda West will often begin with the bay, a stone's throw away. Taking a dog for its morning run along the foreshore past Catani Gardens offers an immediate sense of place, the salty air invigorating for both of you. Many locals pause at Cowderoy's Cafe on Cowderoy Street for a coffee; it’s a friendly spot where pets are often welcome outside, perfect for a post-walk refuel before settling back into the quiet of the home. The rhythm here is notably calmer than other parts of St Kilda, ideal for maintaining a relaxed environment for your charges. Afternoons might involve a quiet stroll through the residential streets, appreciating the historic architecture, or a tram ride from Fitzroy Street into Albert Park for a different café scene on Bridport Street. For fresh ingredients, the South Melbourne Market is a short tram journey, making sourcing quality produce for home-cooked meals simple. Public transport links are robust, ensuring errands or city visits are easily managed, freeing you to focus on the pets and the home. Evenings in this enclave often settle into a peaceful cadence. Catching a sunset from St Kilda Pier, watching the penguins return, offers a unique local experience without needing a car. You'll find the distinct charm of St Kilda West in its balance: close enough to the bay's attractions yet retaining a residential tranquility perfect for a comfortable house-sitting stay. The pace encourages genuine local immersion, allowing you to settle into a temporary rhythm that feels genuinely lived-in.
