If you want to be in the centre of things, but don't feel like staying at a backpackers, this place is great. It's a lovely space to stay in, tastefully decorated. The only drawback is it is near a couple of night clubs so it's noisy until 4am ish. Peaceful during the day though! It's also easy walking distance to basically everywhere. We even walked to St Kilda beach from here. Amazing array of food and shopping options, which is, let's face it, why we all come to Melbourne :). Host was helpful and communicative.
