Joel's place is so handy to Smith Street, Brunswick Street and Fitzroy in general. The 86 tram goes past on Smith Street which takes you directly into town if you want. We were walking distance from everything we wanted to go to in the area and we walked to town most of the time, although you can tram it if you like. The apartment is so lovely and spacious and beautifully decorated in a timeless mid-century aesthetic which we really liked. Having the third floor for our son gave us all some privacy.
We loved the balcony off the loungeroom but as it was winter we really didn't use it. But in warmer weather, what a place to sit and eat brekky!
The kitchen had everything you could want for cooking and we even had two friends over for a dinner party which went very well because of this. The area is pretty quiet as it's halfway between two busier roads. So we slept very well, as we come from the countryside. Tyrone our contact was very helpful and easy to contact. He replied pretty quickly if we had any questions (like where was the light switch for the loungeroom downlights?). We would not hesitate to choose this place again for a visit to Melbourne. It was perfect.
