Spend your days exploring all the world-class restaurants, speakeasies and endless cultural activities the city has to offer; then retreat to the fuss-free comfort of this one-bedroom apartment, where sleek design meets functionality. A living area is well-lit and equipped with air-conditioning sitting alongside floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and showcases beautiful light-washed timber floors, a plush sofa, chic timber coffee table and a flat-screen TV. Open up the sliding glass doors and step out onto the enclosed balcony to enjoy your morning coffee with a side of fresh air and views of the city’s skyscrapers. For those in town for business, make use of the sleek, matte black desk and chair to set up your laptop. When you’re not out exploring the endless dining options on your doorstep, cook up a storm in the compact corner kitchen that is fully-equipped with the basics including a gas stove, dishwasher, and oven; and dine at the dining table for four. A modern and well-lit bedroom features a plush double bed, built-in wardrobes, bedside tables and a large window. It offers access to a pristine bathroom that has a modern vanity, toilet and a spacious shower, while a washing machine and dryer makes laundry day a breeze. 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.

Parallel to Lonsdale Street—and conveniently located within the Free Tram Zone—your apartment opens the door to the endless possibilities that the world’s most liveable city has to offer: global retailers, boutique businesses, endless eateries, stunning gardens and bustling markets. For a true Melbourne experience, head to one of the many restaurants that spill onto Hardware Lane: savour an endless array of seafood at Claypots Barbarossa, sample some of the city’s best Italian food at The Hardware Club, or quench your thirst with some local natural wines at Kirk’s Wine Bar. Meanwhile, local musicians, marvellous street art and otherworldly entertainers can be found in abundance on Bourke Street; a feat that makes Melbourne a unique city that embraces community and culture. Find fresh air in the many parklands surrounding the concrete playground, including the Fawkner Park or Flagstaff Gardens; while every angle surrounding the property will harness tram stops connecting you with the rest of the city. Plus, Melbourne Central Station is just a two-minute walk away.
