What a fantastic place to stay! The studio is quite exceptional. Its a lovely design, really interesting and comfortable, with its own private side entrance. Beautiful windows, gorgeous floor, well appointed bathroom and kitchenette. Lovely books to read on the shelf, including interesting books on local artists, cafes and design. The studio is in a garden setting, but most impressively, it's located right on the Merri Creek with its trees and birds, yet minutes away from funky Northcote and stylish Clifton Hill. Excellent and varied public transport options - trains, trams and buses - and the studio is right on a lovely bike path that goes to town via Carlton and Fitzroy. Close to town yet close to nature. Vicki and John are great hosts, easygoing and friendly, and very knowledgable about Melbourne and interesting local events and places of interest. Highly recommended!
