Brilliant accommodation in so many ways. Just loved the space, large, character-filled, well-equipped and relaxing. The building and immediate locality clearly have historical significance and are a history-lovers dream. The location was idealistic... side lane off a 'little' street ie not off a 4-6 lane road, not particularly noisy considering it is in the middle of the CBD and close to 'Hardware Lane'. Also its an easy walk to Southern Cross and Flinders Street Stations, to trams, restaurants, cafes, shopping, attractions...
As no place is perfect we will say, as Michelle has stated in her blurb, the windows don't have curtains, so it is light in the morning, I used an eye mask for sleep-ins. This also meant that on hot Melbourne 30+ degree days, with its north-facing location and full streaming sun, it was very hot in the loft in the daytime. During our week stay my partner was 'working from home' several of those days when it was distinctly uncomfortable. However was stunning and ideal at other times of day (watched a lightning storm from the roof-top), and tourists will generally be out touring during the day. In addition, Michelle was rapidly responsive when we texted her about a small issue during our stay.
Overall a very worthy 5 star experience. Only regret - wish I'd been flat hunting and found this place!! :-o
