Styled with Melbourne in mind, this simple ground-floor apartment is situated in tree-lined Ascot Vale. This sought-after location is halfway between the CBD and Melbourne Airport and is the perfect base for exploring one of the world’s most liveable cities. Wind down in the spacious living room with cosy furnishings and a smart TV. Make your way out to the quaint balcony overlooking the greenery outside your apartment. The updated kitchen is complete with all the essentials including a full-sized fridge, gas cooktop, convection oven, dishwasher and timber bench tops. The first bedroom is replete with a cosy queen bed, trendy artwork, a built-in robe and a large window that lets in plenty of natural light. The second bedroom is perfect for the kids, with two twin beds and a built-in wardrobe. The bathroom is fitted with modern cons including a wooden vanity and a bathtub with a rainfall shower head. The bathroom doubles as a laundry with a washer and condenser dryer. For those driving around Melbourne, a dedicated car-port parking space is available on the premises. Our property is equipped with a small quantity of basic sundries to suit a short stay or to get you started on an extended visit. We offer a selection of essentials to make your stay comfortable, including toilet paper, single-use shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, tea, coffee, long-life milk, and cleaning/laundry supplies. Beds are made with linens and we provide one towel per person, bath mat, hand towel and tea towel. We do not replenish these items and encourage you to travel with additional items or purchase these locally during your stay. If staying longer-term, please contact us to arrange cleaning including fresh linens and replenishment of these supplies at an additional cost.

Surrounded by parklands, you'll get to enjoy the natural landscape while being only 6km from the CBD and a short walk to the main strip of Ascot Vale. The Maribyrnong River walking and bike tracks are minutes away and The Royal Melbourne Showgrounds and Flemington Racecourse, home to the Melbourne Cup and Spring Racing Carnival, are less than 3km away. If you're interested in testing out the local restaurants and cafes, we recommend Middle Child Cafe for delicious bagels and coffee or check out the Boat House for some burgers and pizza.
