Great area and wonderful apartment.
Situated a block from Smith St which is alive and full of great cafés, shops and restaurants.. no need to cook in the apartment. Having said that there is a great entertainers deck with a bbq and views over Fitzroy and Collingwood. The kitchen is well set out with lots of glassware, pots, pans and crockery for all your needs. The pantry also has the staples and the bathrooms have lovely soap, shampoo and conditioner.
The only concern , and this is if you have a big car, it is a stacker and we had a big car that really struggled to fit into the space. A small car would be fine.
If you want a fun few days exploring Melbourne or a staycation trying out all the new bars and restaurants on that side of town then Stanley St apartment is perfect. You can bring your pooch too.
