I spent 10 nights in July 2018 at Jess and Kirsty’s fantastic little studio apartment in the heart of Melbourne’s Fitzroy/Collingwood precinct. Located centrally just off trendy Gertrude Street in Fitzroy, it’s close to Collingwood, the MCG and the CBD.
The apartment is well appointed with modern appliances including a dishwasher, fridge, freezer and oven and the girls have stocked up on spices and Turkish coffee and other essentials to help you out. The place offers amazing views of Fitzroy’s rooftops from windows in both the kitchen and bedroom, both have great double block out blinds as well. The bathroom is small but very clean and there is plenty of storage in the bathroom for products and in the bedroom for your clothes and shoes! Keyless entry makes coming and going stress free and the apartment is situated on the top floor so you feel safe and secure. Being an smaller and older building there is no elevator so be aware if you are planning on bringing heavy cases, you will have to lug them up to the top. The stairs are a minor point though, this place is a real gem, so close to the trams on Gertrude, Smith and Brunswick Streets and only a short walk into the city or through beautiful Fitzroy Gardens to the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the footy! The apartment is easy to keep warm or cool with a split system to keep you comfortable and the girls have installed Fetch TV and Netflix in addition to free to air channels. The bed is super comfortable as is the couch. I couldn’t recommend this place more highly, both for value and location! I will definitely be booking with the girls again on my next trip over! Great place, great hosts!
