We loved our stay at Vanessa and Chris' apartment. It is in a cool yet quiet location, with a bus stop literally in front of the front door, and a tram stop around the corner. It's a couple of minutes from the centre of Fitzroy, but you don't even have to travel that far to enjoy great food, pubs, parks etc. There's a fine selection of any of these things within walking distance of the apartment.
The apartment itself is very modern, clean and stylish. Vanessa and Chris have paid attention to every detail and we could tell they take pride in keeping the place perfect for their guests. Plus, communication, check in and check out were a breeze and hassle free.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place if you are looking for a base to explore everything that Melbourne has to offer.
