This studio in Carlton North, just next to a major bike path, is the perfect place from which to explore Melbourne. The decor was fun and stylish, and the french doors onto the stared patio made it a lovely place to hang out when not out and about (and easy to pull the drapes for privacy when needed). Bed was super comfortable, I didn't do much cooking because there were so many great restaurants around, but the kitchen seemed well stocked with supplies for coffee and tea. Most of all, the hosts Anthony and Cynthia were friendly and so very helpful, with everything from suggestions about places to visit and eat to arranging to accept my suitcase for delivery from the airport when I wasn't there. I didn't have the time on this trip to take them up on drinks in the courtyard but maybe next time! I would definitely stay here again if solo or just me and a partner, and will recommend it to friends visiting Melbourne in the future.
