We spent two lovely nights here with our family and absolutely loved it. The space is beautiful and made us feel like we were somewhere in Paris! Such a gorgeous atmosphere and location. It was the perfect place for our family Christmas catch-up. Worth noting that the kitchen is quite compact, so cooking for a larger group can be a little challenging. That said, we easily adapted and still had a wonderful stay. Being only a 10–15 minute walk to the city was ideal.We will definitely be back to Melbourne and have found our go-to place to stay.
