Jess and Kristy's place is amazing!!! I highly recommend staying here if you are planning to explore Melbourne. My boyfriend and I lived here 6 months while we were working in Melbourne and have zero complaints. It was a quick walk (~15/20 minutes) to get downtown to get to work and I couldn't have been happier with the neighborhood. The apartment is located in Fitzroy right off of Gertrude street in between Smith St. and Brunswick St. Fitzroy is a really fun quirky neighborhood, and Smith, Brunswick, and Gertrude are all in the heart of Fitzroy with restaurants and cool shops throughout. There's really not a better place to stay if you're trying to stay close to the CBD. All that said for location, the actual apartment is really wonderful as well. It is a studio so adjust your expectations accordingly, but for a studio I found it pretty big with a half wall in between the living room and bedroom making it feel a little more like a one bedroom. There are big windows with lots of light and the apartment has cool decorations that make it feel homey. It really has anything you could need for staying there. Jess and Kristy were really responsive and helpful as well, but we didn't end up needing to contact them much because the place really has anything you'd need! I am very enthusiastic about this place and highly recommend it !
