Great spot right in the heart of Fitzroy. Two solid bedrooms, nice modern kitchen, and steps to everything you could want including restaurants, bars, groceries, Fitzroy Gardens and the city. Really good value for this part of the city.

Thanks Ryan, so glad you enjoyed it all. It was really nice hosting you too.
We enjoyed staying in this lovely home that's walking distance to shops and restaurants. Clean, comfortable, secure, and well-appointed. The lovely outside space added to an all-around excellent experience.

We loved our stay at Fitzgeorge. Location hard to beat. Warm, clean and comfortable.
Everything was wonderful. The flat is great; the location is superb; the communication with Katrina was easy and helpful. It was one of the best short-term rentals we've stayed in.

Thanks Richard, I'm so glad to hear that you appreciated our contact and also enjoyed the house and location so much!
Previously, we rented thru a different company. Boy, was this THE SMARTEST MOVE we could have made. Fitzgeorge was, for us, a perfect home away from home. Our host Katrina is an absolute doll. She could not have been kinder, more helpful, more caring if she were an actual angel. She brought over replacements for everything, from a AAA battery to a new Nespresso machine. We were there for about 2 weeks, and loved our neighborhood, our neighbors, our host, and everything wonderful about Fitzroy. The home was fully supplied - pots and pans galore, and a great outdoor grill in the sweet backyard. We would go back in an instant. For longer next time.

I think we were a prefect match, because I found you both so delightful as well! I hope you do come back to stay sometimes, you would be extremely welcome. I would highly recommend you to any hosts.
The Fitzgeorge is in a terrific location in a hip neighborhood. Close to bars, restaurants, shops and trams. Kristina was very responsive when we had questions. Beds are comfortable and kitchen is well equipped. Bathroom shower is terrific.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property itself and location were fantastic.Perfect for our requirements. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family. Thankyou

Great property, close to vibrant Brunswick St and easy tram ride to town.
We had a fantastic stay, property was easy to get to and a good size for our family of four. Close to Brunswick st with all its shops and cafe's plus close to Smith street also! Easy tram ride into the city (tram stop is very close) and a comfortable warm house. Managers were great, and relaxed. all in all a brilliant stay - we would certainly stay again!

Thanks so much Eileen. You'd be very welcome to return any time.
Perfect space for 5 adults with very good amenities. Very comfy beds. Lovely lounge area with lots of sunshine, and a great little courtyard. Excellent location close to everything. Katrina was lovely to deal with and everything ran smoothly. Loved the little touches of milk in the fridge and coffee and Christmas cake left for us. Highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Thanks so much Jeanette, I really appreciate you saying that and also very glad to hear how much you enjoyed it all.
We had a lovely stay at Fitzgeorge.
Clean, airy and light, a pleasure to stay. Our car (Rav4) could not easily swing into the garage due to narrow street and we parked on the local street with the provided permit. Close to supermarkets, restaurants and museum/exhibition buildings. Enjoyed our time at this place.
Amazing location, so close to everything. Heaps better than motel. Although extra single bed wasnt very good for teenager.
Cobwebs under couch n dog hair all over rug. Would recomend umbrella outside if raining n garden needs clean up. Toliet roll holder down stars needs fixing, and step into house oustide. Also had previous vistors handprints on mirrors. Aircons need a clean, But overall super happy , pantry full of supplies will be back thanks heaps katrina

Hi Dave, great to hear that overall you were super happy. Just clarifying a few things. This house is strictly pet free, so I'm not quite sure about your comment about the shag rug. I think you might be confusing the shag pile? The single bed is similar to hotel-style singles, slat base etc. We've never had any negative feedback about it. If any cleaning issues arise, we are always very happy to address this during your stay, so please don't wait until you've gone to let us know if something was missed as we like our guests to be comfortable and happy. Warm regards, Katrina
This place totally exceeded our expectations. The house was clean and tidy, had everything you would need for a 5 night stay, even some breakfast items, which was a bonus.
The host promptly answered any questions we had which is great. It was a self check-in process. We arrived late at night and it was a bit of a challenge to actually find the accomodation as the house numbers are a bit of strange and hard to see at night.
The area, despite being in the middle of busy Fitzroy, was so quiet, an oasis to return to after a busy day exploring all Fitzroy has to offer.
There were great cafes, restaurants, eclectic shops as far as the eye could see, Fitzroy is really incredible.
We would highly recommend this house and am looking to return at some stage - who would stay in the city when you can have this beautiful home to stay in - not us!

Thanks so much for your comprehensive and delightful review! I'm so glad to hear how much you enjoyed it all. Please do come to stay again. Warm regards, Katrina
Love the location - so many good shops and places to eat & all within easy walking distance. The house was smaller than we thought but still met our needs perfectly.
We weren’t expecting the builders to start quite so early but that’s not the fault of the property.
Beds were lovely as was bedding, just a bit disappointed as we’d also requested the sofa bed to be made up and it wasn’t. Sadly the owner was away the same weekend we were (they had informed us of this) so we didn’t get this resolved.
Otherwise everything was lovely - even down to the amazing bread that was left for us! Would recommend this house and owner as was very helpful and informative - so much so one friend is looking to rebook for later this year!

Just some information for people considering booking this property. I have been in contact with Michelle who had missed our communication sent days before arrival where we outlined the proposed bedding arrangements and gave her the contact number of our housekeeper for any issues arising during her stay, in addition to my contact details while away. This is important for people to know, as we always ensure someone is available to assist with any guest needs while they are staying at our properties.
Fabulous location and place for our family adventures in Melbourne. House had all we needed.

Gorgeous property!
Such a wonderful location! Surprised at how quiet it was. The apartment is beautifully equipped with everyone needed for a stay away. Beds so amazingly comfortable. Close to pretty much everywhere and everything. For a chill out afternoon, try the Union Hotel. It's only a block away. Katrina (property owner) was very easy to communicate with and really looks after her guests :-)

Fantastic pad in Fitzroy
Had a wonderful stay in this property. The location is brilliant - close to cafes, bars and restaurants - a very vibrant part of Melbourne. Located down a lane way, it was quiet - this combined with very comfy beds and air conditioned rooms made for great sleep. Decor is simple but on trend - polished concrete floors, leather sofa etc. Nice courtyard for alfresco dining. Although there is only one bathroom, the 2nd toilet makes it great for two couples. The garage only takes a small car but parking is available outside using the voucher provided. An Uber to the city or Etihad stadium costs between $8 and $16. Katrina, who I dealt with, was very flexible and helpful. Will def be back.

Fantastic property
It's comfortable, well equiped and in a great location, I was surprised how quiet it is given its location.
The jasmine flowering in the courtyard was beautiful - although it did make it impossible to use the clothes line (not that I had the slightest intention)
We would stay there again and wholeheartedly recommend it.
