St Kilda is an inner suburb of the metropolitan area of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 6 km south-east of Melbourne's Central Business District. Its local government area is the City of Port Phillip. At the 2016 Census, St Kilda had a population of 20,230
St Kilda was named by Charles La Trobe, then superintendent of the Port Phillip District, after a schooner, Lady of St Kilda, which moored at the main beach for much of 1841, and the ship's master and early settler Lieutenant James Ross Lawrence.
During the Victorian era, St Kilda became a favoured suburb of Melbourne's elite, and many palatial mansions and grand terraces were constructed along its hills and waterfront. After the turn of the century, the St Kilda foreshore became Melbourne's favoured playground, with electric tram lines linking the suburbs to the seaside amusement rides, ballrooms, cinemas and cafes, and crowds flocked to St Kilda Beach. Many of the mansions and grand terraces became guest houses, and gardens were filled in with apartment buildings, making St Kilda the most densely populated suburb in Melbourne. Postwar St Kilda became Melbourne's red-light district, and the guest houses became low-cost rooming houses. Since the late 1960s, St Kilda become known for its culture of bohemianism, and as home to many prominent artists, musicians and subcultures, including punk and LGBT. While some of these groups still maintain a presence in St Kilda, since the 2000s the district has experienced rapid gentrification pushing many lower socio-economic groups out to other areas, with the suburb again being sought after by the wealthy.
St Kilda is home to many of Melbourne's visitor attractions including Luna Park, St Kilda Pier, the Esplanade Hotel, Acland Street and Fitzroy Street. It is home to St Kilda Beach, several theatres and many of Melbourne's big events and festivals.

Reasonable place to spend a week
Hosts have the process down to a science. The place is pretty much an average place. There’s traffic noise but it’s mid street traffic noise, not a bad intersection or anything, white noise most of the time. Bathroom is a little bit of a squeeze for us larger humans. Temperature control and airflow in the bedroom can be challenging in the summer. None of those are really criticisms, just things other guests might like to know. I had a good stay and didn’t really need anything to be different.

Great one month stay in Balaclava
A really comfortable stay, with everything you need. Good communication with the host. Place was clean and well equipped and in a great location near the bars and restaurants of Carlisle street, close to to Balaclava Station. Would stay again. Some reviews mention the noise from the road - it is noticeable but it didn't impact our stay overall.

Just What We Wanted....
A lovely flat located close to transport, restaurants, and amenities. Had all the comforts of home for us, especially since we like to cook our own meals. This flat was just what we wanted for our five-night stay. A bit of hallway noise at night, but it settled quickly and didn't disturb.
Be advised that the accommodation is in a 3-storey walk-up building in a residential neighbourhood. It's not a problem unless you have lots of luggage.

Great apartment in a top location
We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is clean and modern and has everything you need wh a full kitchen and washing machine, etc.
The location is close to Chapel Street and a short tram ride to the city, the MCG and AAMI Park. So much to do and see.
Would definitely stay here again when we come down to Melbourne.

Spacious modern flat, great location
Great spacious flat with all the amenities you could need (washing machine, AC etc.) close to the beach, great cafes and coffee shops, had a great stay & would stay again!
Thanks
Die Wohnung war insgesamt gut. Es gab einige kleine Mängel, so fehlt der Rauchmelder, das Bad ist extrem klein, es gibt eine falsche Gebrauchsanweisung für die Waschmaschine, der Spiegelschrank ist nicht mehr gut zu benutzen und das Haus insgesamt ist etwas heruntergekommen. Die Ausstattung war gut, gut renoviert, die Lage ist sehr angenehm. Gute Erreichbarkeit von Geschäften und Restaurants, sowie Tram und Metro.
