We love Brunswick, particularly Sydney Road - this place has all the benefits of being on a busy, vibrant road - but because the apartment is at the back of the complex it was nice and quiet. Great morning sun and everything we needed for a snug hideaway as the base for forays by tram into town, or by foot to revisit our favourite local haunts (Ray's cafe on Victoria Street and Brunswick Bound bookshop on Sydney Road) or to find some new places (organic grocery, etc). Just a note - the apartment is on the second floor - two flights of stairs and no lift - fine for us, but might be a consideration if you have lots of luggage or difficulty with stairs.
