Fitzroy is rated with the world's hippest locations and 331 Napier is right there in the middle of it. With a pub (The Rose, Marquis of Lorne, Rochester, Townhall, Napier) and a cafe (Faraday's Cage, Min Lokal, Napier Quarter, Bentwood, George) on every other corner there's no need to venture elsewhere – but if you did, you'd go five minutest west to Smith Street or east to Brunswick Street. Walk to the museum in Edinburgh Gardens – only 15 minutes and the city another 10. But you can also catch a bus or tram which is handy with Melbourne's changeable weather. If you're a bit precious about the merriment on the street, bring earplugs. Otherwise join in.
