Great location.

The apartment is close to shops and cafes, parkland and public transport. It was nice and quiet for a good night's sleep with plenty of windows for sunshine in the day, a roomy living area, bathroom and kitchen.

This property is perfect for when we visit Melbourne so we booked a return visit. So close to cafes, the train into Melbourne, parkland and in a quiet street, a lovely sunny unit.
