If you drive, we do have 1 FREE parking slot available for you.
If you plan on taking the train, Myki is the card you will need for all public transportation. When using a Myki card, please remember to always have sufficient value for your journey as hefty on the spot fines apply if you travel without correct fare or do not "tap on." Trips are about $3.80 for a 2-hour journey, but it all depends on what zones you travel in, if you are a concession card holder and if you buy a day pass.
Myki cards can be topped up at any 7-11 Stores (7-Eleven Flemington, Boundary &, Racecourse Rd, Flemington VIC 3031) or at many other shops that display the MYKI logo. MYKI machines are located at major tram stops, train stations and at convenience stores and news agents. Please be aware that cards can't be topped up on trams or trains any longer.

This pad accommodates 4 adults generously but a max of 6 overnight. Any more than 4 adult guests overnight will attract an extra AU$29 per night, per additional guest.

Not good
Location great but building hard to find. Very confusing information about where to locate key. Communication poor. And not timely. Apartment mostly clean except for terrible drip stains on walls. Gross. Could have been cleaned Toilet in main bathroom could not be flushed so not working. Luckily there was a second toilet. Internet not working. Heater/cooler in lounge relied on internet so didn’t work.Hot weather in Melbourne but fan in main bedroom didn’t work.
