The apartment was so cute and cosy, and spotlessly clean! The building is full of character, just like the other surrounding houses. We aren't used to the winter Melbourne weather, but the heater kept the apartment nice and warm throughout our stay. The bed was super comfy, with hotel quality sheets. We loved the ornate plaster mouldings on the ceiling and the lead-light windows. It is 15 minute walk to Chapel Street shops and Restaurants, South Yarra train station and the MCG. We thought we would catch the tram into the city, but the train station is only a 15 minute walk away, and the train is a quick 10 minutes into the city. The cafe downstairs had delicious coffee and really friendly staff.
Lucy was a great host - she helped me to keep the trip as a surprise from my boyfriend, and aside from checking in via text, she left us to enjoy our holiday in peace.
