About this property

Architecturally Designed 2 Bedroom Apartment right by Parliament House


Located at the Paris end of the CBD right in the heart of the theatre district. Ideal location and walking distance to Melbourne's CBD, Sports Precinct, Art Galleries, Restaurants, Bars and Gardens.
It's an oasis amongst the bustling city streets with a north facing balcony and amazing natural light!

THE SPACE
The space is a generous 2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment split over 2 levels with open plan living, kitchen and dining on the ground floor and 2 bedrooms, the bathroom and your own private balcony on the first floor with city views.

GUEST ACCESS
You will have the entire apartment to yourself. The building is very secure. After 8pm there is a door which closes off access from Bourke Street. You will have a code to access this which I will forward once the booking has been secured and a key safe to access the keys to the main building and the apartment.

If there are any problems during your stay please call me and I will be available to help resolve the issue.
I'm available if you require recommendations or advice but also appreciate that you may prefer privacy during your stay.

The apartment is located on the 3rd floor and unfortunately there is no lift as it is a National Trust-Registered Building with only 8 apartments. I guess you could look at it as good exercise!

There are facilities to cook with in the apartment which if you decide to use I recommend using the exhaust fan as the building's fire alarm is linked directly to the fire brigade so if the alarm is triggered it can be a costly exercise.

I'm a fan of conserving energy so while I provide air conditioning to the property if they are left on after you vacate the apartment there will be an additional charge.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

The flat is in walking distance to most places in and around the city and the public transport links are great but if you are driving and need parking there is a 24 hour carpark directly across the street.

There is Wifi connected for you to use during your stay.

There is a range of teas and coffee for you to enjoy during your stay.

HOUSE RULES
I would hope that you treat the apartment with the same respect you would your own home, it is a pretty quiet building and not suitable for parties. I would also ask that you respect the neighbours during your stay.

If there is anything you are unsure of please feel free to contact me about it.

GETTING AROUND
Only a stones throw from the high end shopping precinct of Collins Street, walking distance to the theatres in Spring, Exhibition and Collins Streets. The location is ideal for experiencing Melbourne's finest bars and restaurants. As there are so many within the area I have left a list of my personal favourites in the apartment for your information, feel free to take a copy!

On Bourke Street there are two trams the 96 which will take you to Nicholson Street heading north or St.Kilda beach via the city in the opposite direction and the 86 which will take you to Smith Street, Fitzroy and the City/Docklands in the opposite direction.

Both of these trams will take you to and from Spencer Street station which is where the Skybus arrives and departs for the airport every 10 to 15 minutes.

Parliament train station is 50m away at the corner of Bourke and Spring Streets.

One block away is Collins Street where you can get the 48 tram to Brunswick Street

Taking a tram within the city grid is free, make sure you are aware of where the free tram zone ends as travelling outside this zone without a valid ticket could result in a fine which isn't my idea of a great souvenir!

For public transport in Melbourne we have a smartcard ticketing system called myki. You can use myki to travel on trains, trams and buses. Always remember to touch on and off your myki each time you travel.

You can buy your public transport tickets from the MetShop, Melbourne Visitor Centre, Premium Stations or from ticket machines on trams and on most buses.

There is a cab rank at your door step, there is a Redspot Car Rental place located within the Wilson Carpark directly across Bourke Street.

It is a 20 minute walk to the Queen Victoria Market, 25 minute walk to the MGC, AAMI Park, NGV and The Botanical Gardens

Like a local

Felt like a real Melbourne city local staying in this apartment. The space is very generous, lots of nice touches/inclusions and it is surprisingly pretty quiet for a city location. Very convenient to transport and some great restaurants. The host, Fiona, was very responsive and helpful too. Thoroughly recommend.

Weekend in Melbourne

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Great location within walking distance of most attractions in Melbourne and a tram stop at the doorstep. And a good parking station just across the road if needed. Just need to be prepared for the three flights of stairs.

Fantastic Location

The host was great- so quick to respond to any questions and super helpful. Location of property was central to all inner city POI. Parking across the road - convenient and relatively cheap. Although on main street there was no noise. The apartment was well appointed and clean. Lots of stairs - probably not so suitable for any one with mobility issues.

Good location but not accurately presented

Great location but not accurately presented. The listing said it slept six comfortably showing one bedroom with one queen and the second bedroom with two. When we arrived there were just two beds total. And a very small stained sofa with ratty sheets sitting next to it. When we asked if we could have clean sheets the owner dumped brand new sheets in the wrapper outside our door. New sheets require washing before using so we couldn’t use them. Bathroom door doesn’t close properly so no privacy. Just needs a clean and freshen. Lots of stains on walls, holes in sheets and blankets, dirty cups etc

Great location for Princes Theatre

Fabulous location for Princes theatre, plus tram stop right at the front door. Fiona was great with communication and very helpful. Wouldn’t suggest for anyone with young children with prams etc due to stairs, but my older kids had no trouble. Would definitely recommend and stay again if travelling to Melbourne city. Thanks Fiona for a great stay!

Ok apartment great location

Architecturually designed is a bit of a stretch. Rather cold and empty, no plants pictures on walls etc. No tv in bedroom, no elevator ( so if you are unable to do stairs or have heaps of luggage) don’t book.Nice linen on beds and good location and thank you for the bottle of red.

Lovely renovated apartment in a great location

We loved this beautifully renovated apartment. The apartment was everything we needed for a weekend away in the heart of Melbourne. The apartment was clean and very comfortable for our family of four. Fiona (the owner) was very accommodating with an early check in and late checkout. Any questions I had were answered promptly. We loved the location, very close to trams and lots a great restaurants. We would definitely recommend this apartment and location.
