Carlton and Fitzroy are beautiful. I spent the day riding around the Yarra River on bike paths (hired the bikes from Federation square). It was an easy tram ride to Fed square. Friday night life was awesome, with many restaurants and shops open till late on Brunswick St. The Donut store is open until 2am! :D The apartment was so close to Brunswick St, it was a quick stroll home after dinner.

On Saturday morning it was great going for a walk through the victorian styled houses in peace and quite. My boyfriend ran the park run at Princess park on Saturday morning and then coffee and amazing cakes from a cafe about 100m from the house. We then drove 45 mins to the Dandenong's and it was simple to navigate and not too much traffic.

Matt was away for the time we stayed, but he messaged me throughout our stay to make sure we successfully got into the house and were comfortable.

I'm not a huge fan of the CBD, but this area is amazing to just walk around, browse through the streets and shops and find a cafe that suits you! I definitely recommend it!
