Florence Court is an original art deco apartment, set in the quiet suburb of Middle Park.
It's set on a wide residential street, with loads of parking, just around the corner from a good collection of shops and cafes. You are six minutes walk from two of Melbourne's famous tram lines, and so it's an easy run into the centre of town, or out to St Kilda.
The apartment is mostly original, with loads of intact features. No it doesn't have air-con, but it is shaded by a massive tree, and so was cool during the hottest days. The bathroom is quirky, but there is lots of hot water and a good shower. The kitchen is typically Australian, and has some really odd design choices, but it all works.
Gary is a gracious host and has clearly invested a lot of time and effort into his property. We loved staying there.
