Kim and Dean’s place is lovely and quiet ( we slept so well!) even though it’s right in the heart of Fitzroy. A short walk in any direction to great cafes and eateries and the general buzz of Brunswick st or Smith st. If we had been there in the heat of summer we would have swum at the Fitzroy pool which is right over the rd. If you are in Melbourne to get out and about this is a great little launchpad .
