Beautiful apartment in one of the most central locations in Melbourne, right near the free tram and so perfectly located for exploring.
We stayed in November 2019 and there is a huge amount of construction work going on in Central Melbourne. The street the apartment is one was actually closed when we were there so it was right outside. Our first night was a Saturday so on the Sunday morning there was no noise, but the following two nights, the construction work started at 2am so we had very little sleep. I recommend bringing earplugs for a weeknight stay if you're coming before the tram upgrades are complete. Karen doesn't live in Melbourne and the works had only just begun so I dont blame her for not informing us because even our taxi driver didn't know it was happening until we tried to navigate around the road closures!
Regardless, I'd still wholeheartedly recommend this place and Karen's hospitality was outstanding so if you're coming after this construction work then it'll be ideal. Thanks again Karen!
