City Sanctuary

"The location in Fitzroy was perfect! Nice safe bohemian area within walking distance to the CBD, to Lygon, Brunswick and Smith Streets....and near trams that take you everywhere. There are tons of good restaurants and shops right around the corner. The owner has decorated the apartment in a very pleasing fashion. There are lots of personal touches that make you feel relaxed and at home. I visited Melbourne during a period of extreme heat. The air-conditioner was a huge plus. The apartment is on the top floor so it is very quiet. It was very pleasant listening to the sounds of nature from the balcony. Everything worked perfectly..and the bed was super-comfortable. The rain-shower was perfect after a long day of sight-seeing. I would be pleased to rent this apartment again if I return to Melbourne. I appreciated all the good advice about the neighbourhood...thanks Mariana. "

"City Sanctuary was the perfect home for me, my husband and my 5 year old son while my husband attended a two week course at Melbourne University. Marianna, the owner, was very accommodating and she and her daughter, Phoebe, were very easy to communicate with. She had stocked the kitchen with food, knowing that we were arriving from the US and would be tired and hungry. The king size bed was so comfortable, I didn't even miss my bed at home! The flat is stylish with sort of a lived in feel that made us comfortable from the start. It is across the street from the wonderful Melbourne Museum and a great playground for our son to work off some energy. There is a tram stop just around the corner, so we could easily get around the city. If you are looking for a place that feels like a home rather than a hotel, I highly recommend it!"
