Staying at David's is fantastic if you want to see the hip side of Melbourne, you are a short walk from Smith street and have a fantastic place for brunch just across the street (South Of Johnston) and a great place for coffee at the top of the street (Plug Nickel). You will be lucky to stay in David's place for a visit and his hospitality is second to none. One thing to note as it is in a lively area you will have the occasional passing noise late at night but that comes with the cool area you are staying in.
