Nice location. 10 min walk to great cafes. Near busy streets but the apartment stays quiet. The apartment could use a fresh coat of paint and a deep clean on the sofa but at this price point…it’s hard to complain about anything.

Superb Location

The location of this property is outstanding. In a quiet enough location away from busy Lygon St, but only a short stroll to the hustle and bustle of its cafes and restaurants. The check in process was super easy and convenient, and our host was helpful and available. The apartment itself was clean and well presented, as well as equipped with all the amenities needed for our week long stay. We will definitely recommend this property to our family and friends and look forward to staying there in the future.

Pet friendly 2 bedroomed apartment

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, very pet and user friendly. Well-appointed to tram stops and a quick walk down to shopping area. Made use of the delightful cheese shop and the boutique wine cellar next door. Easily accessible to our family living in N. Melbourne; accessible to motorway. Had a great time exploring the Melbourne Cemetery and the dog met lots of other dogs in the walks round there. Definitely will be back there; thank you so much Amanda.
