We've been to Melbourne many times and there has never been a better location to stay in Melbourne than this! It is situated in a quiet but trendy end of Flinders St, meaning that we could walk to federation square (2min) and the shopping area (10-15min). The free tram stop is right in front so we could head anywhere easily. AND all the good / celebrity restaurants are within 1-5min walking distance!
The apartment is stylish, new, completely adequate and comfy, located in a new and stylish development.
We were travelling with a 3mth old infant and this location allowed us to really enjoy our vacation without too much compromise as we could easily hop back to feed/nap/rest/do laundry.
My only little comment for light sleepers is that given the restaurants are all in the vicinity, on a sat night it could be a little noisy (despite the triple pane glass which blocks off most of the noise) - but it was very bearable and the rest of the positives more than made up for it.
Michael is a patient and thoughtful host who was very accommodating of our check out arrangements. I will def stay here again the next time we come to Melbourne!
