The apartment is modern and immaculate, and the combined washer/drier meant that laundry could be accomplished without being in attendance. Although not right in the CBD, the direct bus and train services are a 5 minute walk, and one bus route right across the road goes to the wonderful mecca of shopping and eateries on Smith, Brunswick and Lygon Street. Access to the Yarra river walkway at the end of the street meant relaxing strolls at sunset and sunrise were an added treat. The local IGA convenience store has every food/drink/myki card requirements covered, and is open late. A stroll round the nearby Collingwood oval gives an interesting interactive history of the neighbourhood, as does the environs of the nearby Abbottsford convent. Perfect in every way!
