This space has been fabulously repurposed into an amazing open area residence. The attention to detail and overall effect is impressive, given the building’s background. We loved the not-so-small touches (bowl of fruit, well stocked pantry, etc) and the comprehensive house guide covers anything you could possibly need to know and then some. The home theatre set up is fantastic. The temperature was very comfortable, notable given outside temps were in the low 30’s for one day with overnight not dropping below 24.
Matthew greeted us and oriented us to the home. He was generous with his time and answered our questions regarding his very interesting occupation and history of the building / area.
Plenty of room for our vehicle, secure off street parking. No need for us to use our car during our stay - public transport into the city is a minute’s walk from from the front door (bus) and only about 7 mins to the train station. Less than a 10 minute walk into high-st area of Footscray - where you will not find a better range of Vietnamese restaurants in Melbourne. Would have loved to try an Ethiopian restaurant - next time.
Don’t be discouraged from the Reverence Hotel (renowned live music venue) being next door - we stayed a Fri and Sat night and our sleep was not disturbed at all.
