Fitzroy doesn’t follow trends; it sets them. One of Melbourne’s hippest neighbourhoods, the eclectic suburb is home to innovative bars and restaurants popular with art crowds.

Brunswick Street is the place to be for shopping and nightlife, while Gertrude Street sets a scene with buzzing eateries and artsy hangouts.

We highly recommend using ride-sharing services.

The property exceeded our expectations, location was perfect with the whole of Fitzroy on our doorstep and easy access to CBD. The sunny weather allowed delightful drinks on the large roof terrace and the street was very quiet and peaceful. We spent a very happy and comfortable 4 days in the apartment and would highly recommend it

Fantastic. Just off the incredible Brunswick St and less than a 2km walk to the heart of the city. Not that you need to when you are staying in the heart of Melbourne’s best dining precinct. Beautiful place with lots of added comforts.
Check in process was very straightforward and the property manager was very accommodating with my early arrival from the States. The apartment was exactly as advertised, nicely laid out, very clean, fantastic location. Only slight issue was there is no elevator, at least not one that I saw to access the apartment. So be prepared to climb some stairs if you have heavy luggage.

Hi William,
Thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad to hear that the check-in process was smooth and that you found the property exactly as advertised.
We appreciate you mentioning the lack of an elevator, and we understand that this may have been an inconvenience. We hope to host you in the future at any of our properties.
Kind regards,
The MadeComfy Team
My family of six really enjoyed our stay and were able to extend the time while we were searching for our long time rental. The layout was super functional, the property very clean, and everything was great. I'd say the only issue we had was not due to the owners, but more building construction. When it is extremely windy there's a metallic banging sound from the wind gusts hammering the metal roof. I'd still recommend the property in spite of that minor issue.
Great location with plenty of great food options right on your door step. Close enough to the city that you can walk or there is a tram stop right at the end of the street. Apartment was lovely and clean with everything you need if you wanted to cook in. Only downside was we couldn't work out where to put the rubbish and recycling. Once we located the main bins they were locked with a code and there was no code provided. The owners could leave a little card with code and instructions of where to locate the main bins. Other than that would definitely recommend.

The location of the property was very good but unfortunately we booked a 3 bedroom apartment but the 3rd bedroom was unusable due to a water leak onto the carpet from the ensuite. Maintenance did check the leak but could not do anything about it. The smell made the room uninhabitable. This meant one of our work colleagues had to fly home and could not stay in the property with us. The exhaust fan in the main bathroom had dodgy wiring and would not turn off. It was very loud and vibrated through the apartment. After several phone calls to the property manager we finally heard back 24 hours later. Very disappointing the response time. The kitchen is not well stocked and the windows are very dirty. The plants could also do with some watering as they are not well maintained. We'd like to hear back from the property manager regarding compensation for the renting a 3 bedroom apartment and only being able to use 2 bedrooms due to the water leak. Thank you.
The apartment was large and modern and in a great location.
There was air conditioning in the main bedroom. It would have been even better if there had been fans or aircon in other rooms as it could get a little warm in the summer heat.
