Comfortable, convenient, light filled apartment

The apartment is as represented by the photos; all was comfortable in attractively styled surroundings in a small, quiet and secure block with very easy access to shops and trams. The owner communicated very promptly and clearly and, since we were booking from a different state, that helped us to quickly feel that we could rely on all being as we had expected. I'll happily recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Melbourne within easy reach of the city and surroundings.

Perfect getaway from the city

Rooms are very well equipped and secure. Super close to Middle Brighton railway station which is on the Sandringham line. Woolworths, lots of eateries and shops you may need while on holidays literally just around the corner. View of the bay if your room is not on the street side.
