A really nice place to stay near the edge of the CBD but still with everything you need right at your fingertips - such as restaurants, theatres, pubs, wine bars, movies, shops, tram station and rail station. The whole of the marvellous Melbourne CBD is just about walkable from here but you can take the free tram from very nearby too to reach everywhere you might want to with ease. Kate was a great host who gave us simple access instructions and supplied all the amenities we needed (such as complementary goodies!). The characterful bedroom is small but is perfectly formed and perfectly set out, as are the kitchen and bathroom. It’s bay windows are right on the street but very effective railings, double glazing and two layers of curtains means that you feel like you are happily watching the world go by (rather than feeling watched). And, most importantly, it is so very quiet. We have stayed in much noisier Melbourne apartments five floors up!
