Spacious, modern apartment with washer and dryer in the unit. Close proximity to downtown Melbourne without having to pay downtown rates. Short walk to the tram line.

Gail United States of America

Very quiet area even during traffic hours. Close to tram (57 to the City). Close to Queen Victoria Market (free tram zone). I found a great little cafe down the street for a morning mocaccino and an amazing cafe for breakfast or lunch, Toast Cafe on Errol street. Amazing coffees and incredible food! As for the apartment; very pleasant, fully furnished, larger than most Melbourne apartments. A pleasant stay and would rent again.

Grant Australia

This apartment was absolutely perfect for our stay. Situated in a very quaint part of Melbourne and a beautiful suburb to walk around. Tram that went to the cbd was right around the corner making travelling to and from places and checking out the city super easy and convenient. The apartment itself was super cosy, nicely furnished and had everything we needed. Very quiet part of town too which we found very relaxing.

Kate Australia

This apartment is in a terrific location just a 10-15 minute walk to the North Melbourne restaurants and shops at Errol Street and just around the corner from a tram stop. It’s also just a 15 minute walk or 5 minute tram ride to Queen Victoria Markets. The apartment has been fitted and furnished to a high standard with a large flat screen TV, DVD player, good WiFi, well-equipped kitchen, great bathroom and laundry facilities. The car parking is secure and our Subaru Outback fitted in the car parking space really easily. This is a really great option for a budget friendly Melbourne stay!
