Quiet apartment with garden outlook, in a delightful, peaceful, residential neighbourhood. Oaks & other deciduous trees line the streets and if you need even more nature, there's a lovely park nearby. It's a 10 min drive into the city or you take the train (it's a 4 min walk to the station) or tram (10 mins walk). Also nearby are Westgarth (stand-outs are the independent cinema, organic supplies store and the very full second hand store), Fairfield (supermarkets, fruit & veg stores, cafes, restaurants, bookstore, etc) and High St Northcote (esp. restaurants, bars, cafes).
The apartment is a good size, including a large queen bedroom, living area (or second bedroom), kitchenette and bathroom. The place is very well equipped and I had everything I needed for a stay of a few months. One feature I will mention is the bookcase FULL of classics - from the ancient to the modern. There are more thoughtful inclusions like this - I will leave you can discover them for yourself.
Last, but not least, James and Mink are brilliant hosts and are both friendly & helpful.
