My two small children and I really enjoyed our time at Melissa’s place. Located just a few steps from Sydney Road, we found it so easy to get around... train, tram, walk or car - Melbourne is your oyster from here!!
The space is quirky & homey and we found it to be comfortable and perfect for our needs. We especially loved the courtyard for sunshiney breakfasts. Plus, many wines were drank (by me) sitting out there in the mild evenings.
It was great to have the central heating & cooling as, in typical Melbourne fashion, we had every type of weather during our stay.
Beds were comfy, TV had a chrome caster & I seriously can’t think of a thing that we wanted for during our stay... maybe a better bath plug but I bought one so you won’t have to worry about that!
The only minor inconveniences were; parking & lack of washing machine.
Street parking is 2 hours (during business hours) out the front & 5 hours around the corner. Moreland Road isn’t far & has all day parking. Having said that, I parked at the house a few times for the whole day & never saw an inspector or received a ticket.
There is currently no washing machine (although apparently that will be changing in the future) however just through the alleyway & across the road is a 24/7 laundromat with a convenience store right next door for laundry liquid, change, etc. Melissa has a clothes airer at the house so I mostly just went there for the washing machines which were $4 & around 25 mins.
Overall, I would highly recommend a stay at Melissa’s place especially if you’re keen to experience all that the Brunswick/Coburg area has to offer, which is a lot!
