Room #9 on a lovely street, steps away from Lygon Street, is a delight, albeit at the top of a flight of stairs. We were able to take our 20kg check-in luggage plus carry-on up the stairs but unless you are travelling light, you may want to request for a ground floor room. Being on the upper floor has its advantage - no noisy neighbours. The self contained studio with a floor to ceiling window complete with ensuite bathroom and little kitchenette served us well for our 11-day stay. The rolling blinds at the huge window allowed us some privacy while we kept the other small window open to allow daylight into the bright uncluttered room. The kitchenette has a stove, basic cooking utensils and crockery, sizeable refrigerator, microwave oven as well as dishwashing detergent which made preparing simple meals and cleaning up after, a breeze. The bathroom with a shower stall is small but clean. It has a huge mirror which came in handy when we had to get ready at the same time before our daily outings. The bed and pillows are comfortable and all bedlinen and bath towels are fresh, crisp and clean. As there are no hooks in the bathroom, we took the laundry drying rack stowed in the bathroom to the sitting area to air dry our bath towels. The Ikea wardrobe with many hangers allowed us to hang up our outerwear. There is a huge TV screen but we only managed to connect to Netflix twice during our entire stay. Somehow the internet connection was unstable/poor. We used the onsite washing machine only once as we felt that it could use regular cleaning and better maintenance. The room could also do with a light switch near the bedside. Otherwise one has to switch the room lights off near the main door before getting into bed. . All in all it was a comfortable stay just outside the free tram zone area which is great for exploring Fitzroy and the CBD. Restaurants are a street away and Woolworths is a 5 minute walk. Our only grouse is the main door which rattled the entire night due to a rainstorm. It rained very hard but fortunately the rainwater did not flood into the room.
