Brian's apartment is in a lovely, vibrant area of the city full of restaurants, shops, and bars yet only a short tram or train ride into the CBD. Melbourne's transit network is easy once worked out! The apartment is well-equipped and has all you need for a stay. You can hear the nearby trains but this wasn't a problem. We enjoyed a self-guided walking tour around the CBD, explored the Botanic Gardens and Shrine of Remembrance, and used the trams and trains to explore St Kilda plus fitted in a day trip out to the Ocean Road and the 12 Apostles. So much more to see when we visit again in the future!
