It's a perfect little hideaway in one of the funkiest parts of town. We had no desire to shop on this trip to Melbourne, but we caved in due to the great fashion just up the road. And for dinner, the other direction provided some great places to eat. Plus on the same street as the accommodation is a great cafe with gourmet treasures to buy.

The tram line runs straight into town and you are provided with two travel tickets to use by your host, Ione.

There's also home made anzac biscuits (or cookies for US readers) waiting to make you feel at home. Ione has made this the perfect cosy Melbourne stop.
