I stayed at Rachel’s place back in 2018 and had such a positive experience that I couldn’t wait to get back to this cosy little house in the heart of Fitzroy North. After years of travel restrictions, I was finally able to duck over to Melbourne with my partner for a short stay last week. Rachel’s house was just as perfect as it was when I first stayed there many moons ago. Despite its modest size, this place is the perfect home base for a Melbourne getaway. The 11 and 96 trams are close by for easy transport options and the private access laneway allows you to explore the town til the wee hours of the morning without disturbing the neighbours (or the hosts!). This will always be my first option for accommodation in Melbourne. If you’re lucky enough to find this spot available during your next visit to Melbourne, it’s a must! I can’t wait for my next stay :)
