About this property
Best of Local Living on Lygon Street near RMIT
This student accommodation studio is situated in the heart North Melbourne’s dining precinct and just a short tram ride from the CBD. Perfect for backpackers or those studying at RMIT or Melbourne University, this pared-back studio offers air conditioning, a comfy sofa, TV and queen-size bed, while a kitchenette allows you to prepare simple meals at home. Dine or study at the dining table or head out to the enclosed patio to sip your morning coffee from one of the local cafes nearby.
If you don't mind climbing 20 stairs to access the studio, you'll definitely enjoy being in the midst of the buzz as you discover all the delicious flavours of Lygon Street and the convenience of being a stone’s throw from Carlton Gardens, Melbourne University and RMIT.
While the apartment lacks natural light, a vibrant colour palette creates a cosy space to relax. After a day of work or sightseeing, kick back on the sofa while you watch TV or settle in with a book, with heating and air-conditioning keeping you comfortable year-round. Enjoy breakfast or study for the two-seater table that can be folded away for extra space. When you're not out and about sampling the nearby eateries, you’ll find all you need in the kitchenette to prepare a quick bite to eat at home, including a mini-fridge, stove, microwave, kettle and toaster, and other basics such as pots, pans and utensils.
When it comes time to retire to your queen-size bed, you’ll find bedside tables and lamps that allow you to relax with a quiet evening read. The bathroom includes a shower, toilet, and vanity, along with complimentary starter toiletries. Guests also have access to a shared, coin-operated laundry facility within the building.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire space to yourself, as well as access to residential laundry facilities. Please make yourself at home!
This cosy apartment is perfect for your Melbourne adventure! You will not run out of sights and dining to explore. Within a 10-minute walk, experience the natural and cultural history exhibits at Melbourne Museum housed in the grand Carlton Gardens. Queen Victoria Market is the largest open air market in the south and provides an authentic shopping experience.
Lygon St. is notorious for heaps of excellent restaurants and cafes, especially really good international food. Head to Universal for a hearty Italian menu, while I Love Istanbul features a down-to-earth atmosphere the locals love. Craving Thai? Lemongrass will not disappoint. The Lincoln boasts of their craft beer and gastropub food or check out The Curtin for some live music.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
