This was one of the best AirBNBs I have ever stayed at. The apartment is very well appointed (the photos are accurate). The kitchen is fully equipped and easy to use. A large dining table and a super comfortable sofa make up the main room. A separate space has a large desk, and two chairs and the TV. There is also a small deck - a nice place to sit with a coffee or wine. The bed is super comfortable, with lots of extra pillows. Great shower, full-size washing machine and a hanging rack for drying clothes. You are welcomed to use anything you find in the apartment, so no need to buy laundry soap or shampoo. There are also lots of other nice little things like lots of hangers and a hook on the back of the bathroom door - small things, but they all add up to a very comfortable stay. The WiFi works very well. Getting the key from the lockbox was a snap. Nick is super responsive to all questions and very nice.
The location is wonderful. Right at the intersection of Brunswick and Johnston streets where are there are a ton of restaurants, cafes, and bars. Smith Street is not far away. A number of tram and bus lines are within walking distance and it is really easy to get around. Despite being in the center of bustling Fitzroy, the apartment is very quiet. There is a bar on Johnston behind the apartment, and if you have the sliding door open, you can hear the bar, but if you shut the door, the apartment is very quiet. The bedroom is also on the side of the apartment away from the noise.
As a woman traveling solo, I felt very safe in the apartment and the neighborhood, including walking back from the tram at night. I was there for work and also found that Rustica, Attaboy Roy, and the Black Cat were all good, nearby cafes to sit in with your computer and do some work. Naked for Satan, a bar very near the apartment, is also a pretty quiet place to work in the afternoons before the afterwork crown comes in (on the first floor, the third floor roof deck is busier). There is a Coles grocery store a block from the apartment, and an IGA a little further on.
I highly recommend this apartment!
P.S. Two other small things. One, if you enter the building on Victoria Street, you have to climb up a set of stairs to get to the building door. Once inside, the apartment is right there. If stairs bother you or you have a lot of luggage, you can go around the corner and enter on Fitzroy Street. You will enter on the 'G' floor and then can take the elevator up to '1' where the apartment is. Two, if you like cats, you MUST go to the Melbourne Cat Cafe downtown. It is delightful!
