We had a great time staying in Brunswick at the apartment. There were so many amazing places to eat and shop nearby within a 10 minute walk. Just in front of the apartment is access to a bike trail that leads around the city off of the road. There is a convenient IGA in front of the apartment as well for picking up anything you might need. It was nice to stay a little further away from the city center to get the feel for the "real" Melbourne with lots of character homes. Will definitely stay here again!
