Pavel's place is the place for travellers to stay when visiting Melbourne. Clean, simple, and private. It is in a great location for accessing Victoria Market, public transport, the rest of the city, and northern trendy areas. The room I stayed in was spacious, and had a laptop friendly desk to work at. There is airconditioning for warmth in winter. The bedroom door has a lock, but also frosted windows, so there's privacy, but light does shine in from the hallway - if you're likely to be bothered by this, you may need to bring an eye mask. The place was quiet when I was there, but it does have numerous rooms with people coming and going. If you require parking, there is metered parking on the surrounding streets with generous 2-4 hour limits, and free parking time between 6.30pm and 7.30am. At the time I stayed the rate was $2.20 per hour.
