A home away from home, this stylish two bedroom apartment in Melbourne’s diverse suburb of Hawthorn is ideally located to offer the best of the area on your doorstep. A contemporary living area complements an open-plan layout that features a large, furnished balcony with expansive views over the neighbourhood. Please note the BBQ you can see in one of the photos does not work. Step inside the glass balcony doors to find a lounge area that features a sleek, grey couch, comfortable armchair, sleek glass-topped coffee table and a wide-screen, TV that is mounted onto the wall. Make use of a fashionable and fully-equipped kitchen with marble benchtops and all the modern appliances including a dishwasher, gas cooktop, oven and a full-sized fridge; and dine at the four-person dining table, or al fresco on the balcony. After dinner, enjoy a drink on your private balcony before unwinding in either of the two naturally-lit bedrooms that come furnished with queen beds, quality linen and built-in mirrored wardrobes with hangers and shelves. Plus, a contemporary bathroom has white-tiled walls, a spacious shower, large vanity and a toilet; as well as the convenience of a laundry area complete with a washing machine and dryer. Additional luxuries include a dual-system air conditioning and heating unit in the living room as well as high-speed Wi-Fi. **Please note, all linen and towels are provided. Some basic necessities are also provided but those that are not are expected to be purchased by the guest. We have found that guests purchase consumables that build up over time. This system seems to work well. **Guests will not have access to the letterbox. If guests want to receive mail they will need to have it sent to the local post office for pick up. Keys are accessed via a lock box which is a 3 minute walk away from the apartment. Please keep this in mind when making a reservation. Thanks!

Featuring a mix of Victorian terraces and newly-built homes, Hawthorn combines suburban grandeur with a diverse cultural scene. Glenferrie Road—just minutes from the property—lies at the heart of Hawthorn and is home to an array of eateries, homeware stores and designer boutiques. A ten minute walk away, you’ll find the trendy Axil Coffee Roasters—the original of many popular Melbourne branches—where you can enjoy a cold drip coffee and some of the area's best brunch. You’ll also be a stone’s throw from many other great eastside suburbs including Richmond and Kew. Plus, if you’re not exploring by car, the apartment is conveniently steps from Burwood Road—offering trams into the city—and three minutes’ walk from Auburn Station, connecting you via train with the rest of Melbourne.
