Plush carpeted floors, windows the length of the wall, new-age furniture and all the mod cons makes this contemporary one bedroom apartment the ideal stay for exploring the culture, nightlife and beauty of Melbourne. An open-plan space features a living area furnished with a comfortable corduroy couch, glass-topped coffee table, modern artwork and a wide-screen TV; sitting alongside a corner kitchen that features a quirky red splashback and is fully equipped with modern appliances including a large fridge, microwave, electric stovetop, oven, dishwasher and all the basic cooking utensils such as pots, pans, dishes and cutlery. When you’re not out exploring the endless dining options on your doorstep, cook up a storm and dine outside on your own private balcony that overlooks the quiet Russell Place. The spacious bedroom has a plush queen bed with a large, stunning timber headboard as well as large built-in mirrored wardrobes. A contemporary and pristine bathroom comes with a beautiful timber bench, wall-length mirror, large vanity, and has a toilet and a shower. Additional luxuries include a split-system heating and cooling unit, a laundry area with a washing machine and a dryer, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Please note the smart TV has no live free to air channels, it does however have the free to air channels on demand and Netflix.

Find yourself around the corner from the city’s East End—dubbed “the Paris end”—and its many beautiful, heritage-listed buildings; while also conveniently being a short walk to Bourke Street Mall, Chinatown, the Yarra River, The Capitol Theatre, Hosier Lane, Flinders Street Station, Melbourne Central, RMIT and the Emporium. Your prime location means that the city’s best bars and eateries are just minutes away. To savour authentic dumplings head to Chinatown’s Empress of China—just five minutes’ walk away. Directly next door to the apartment, you can experience refined Italian food in a chic setting at the newly-opened Marameo; and finish the night off with a craft cocktail created by some of the city’s best bartenders at Gin Palace—just upstairs of Marameo.
