Beware ‘hustle and bustle’ description! This, I discovered to my consternation, means the Postal Loft is situated right near the junction of two very noisy, busy roads in Brunswick. As this is an old place with no double glazing, the noise is very loud especially the motorbikes at one in the morning. Personally I found it impossible to sleep and ended up having to move which as it was near Christmas was very difficult.
Also the summer in Melbourne can be very hot and the postal loft bedroom really heats up as the ceiling is also the roof. The one small fan simply moves the hot air around. There is an air con unit downstairs but cold air sinks so little of this affected the upper bedroom and bathroom area.
If the postal loft was in a quiet street and if it was cooler in the summer, it would be perfect and would keep you fit as there are lots of steps inside and out.
The Brunswick area is great for shopping with everything you need close by plus a cycle track.
There is the added benefit if you don’t mind the noise of a tram stop literally right outside the flat. Also the 96 tram runs all night so great if you want to take advantage of the night life in the city.
I didn’t get to meet Felicity but we always had fabulous communication, she was especially understanding with regard to the noise but please note that there is a strict cancellation policy on this place and you won’t get a refund if you find the noise too much and move elsewhere.
