We came to Melbourne to spend the days with grandchildren and Nick and Philomena's room with ensuite was in a perfect location for us, walking distance. We were given very clear instructions on everything which made our arrival seamless, particularly as our hosts were away for the first couple of days. The room was exactly as represented, clean and light, and the apartment is in a vibrant section of North Fitzroy, with myriad coffee shops, little restaurants, supermarket etc just a few minutes away. Edinburgh Gardens are very close and there are other parks within walking distance. We were given a permit for street parking just outside the door, which was much appreciated. Trams in Melbourne are the way to go if you need to get to the city and the stop is very close to the apartment. It can be noisy at night as the room fronts onto the street, but earplugs were by the bed (we didn't need to use them, but it was a considerate touch). Nick was a thoughtful and generous host. We recommend this listing if you are looking for a place north of the city centre that can serve as a base in Melbourne
