Stylish Fitzroy North 3BR Home + Free Street Parking, 3.5km CBD

I'm Cyndy - an architect by trade, a keen traveller, and a host of seven years.

Design is what I do professionally, and it shapes how I set up every place I let. I pay attention to how a room takes the light, whether the kitchen is one you would genuinely want to cook in, and whether there is a comfortable spot to sit with a coffee in the morning.

Because I travel a lot myself, I know what actually matters when you arrive somewhere new: getting in without a fuss, a properly made bed, wifi that works, and a host who replies. Every one of my properties has self check-in so you can arrive on your own schedule, and I am contactable if anything comes up during your stay.

I studied at the University of Melbourne and know this city well, so do ask for recommendations. I am always happy to point guests towards the cafes, walks and neighbourhood spots I would send a friend to.

Fitzroy North is one of those pockets of Melbourne that works for almost everyone.

You are 3.5km from the CBD, so the city is a short tram ride or drive away, but the street itself is quiet and residential. Edinburgh Gardens is a twelve minute walk and it is where the neighbourhood goes to run, read and walk the dog. Brunswick Street and Lygon Street are both a few minutes away for dinner, and there are good coffee roasters within a short walk of the front door. Rushall Station is around fourteen minutes on foot.

It is handy for the practical things too. The University of Melbourne is close by, and the area suits guests here for work or study just as well as it suits visitors coming to eat and wander.

Three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a kitchen you can actually cook a proper meal in - integrated stainless steel and marble - opening onto the living and dining area and a sunny backyard.

It sleeps eight across three queen beds and a single in the living room, and with two bathrooms nobody is queuing in the morning. There is a sunny balcony, a dedicated workspace, a laundry, and free street parking on the surrounding streets. Some streets have two hour limits on weekdays, so do check the signs.

Entry is through a surveilled secure main door with self check-in, so you can arrive whenever suits you. It is set up for families and groups who want room to spread out while staying ten minutes from the middle of Melbourne.
