As a return guest I can say this retreat on Smith St is great .
Always clean with extra blankets for the cold or fan for when the heat hits although you're so close to bars with rooftops why stay in your room🙂
Right in the heart of Fitzroy/ Collingwood or a 20 min walk to the city or a few steps away from the 86/11 trams into the city and beyond.
I stay in the single room with ensuite when I visit. Equipped with microwave, bar fridge, tea, coffee, plates and cutlery it covers the basics.
I'm always trying new restaurants and old favorites when I stay and do not need a fully equipped kitchen so perfect for me.
