We enjoyed our stay in the apartment. It was well laid out with the bedroom facing the morning sun. We also got to see the hot air balloon floating over the horizon in the mornings.
Very convenient to excellent restaurants in the area including a vegan restaurant just below the apartment.
The variety of cuisine available in the Collingwood area is top notch from European to Asian. Would recommend Cutler & Co; Smith Street Bistrot, Rocco Bologna, Shop Ramen, Tamura Sake Bar among the selections nearby.
And downtown is a pleasant 20-30 minute walk. Can also walk to Parliament Station and take the free tram downtown.
We also loved the number of churches nearby including the Melbourne Cathedral.
We will certainly be back since our son lives in the area!
