📋 A Few Honest Notes
We'd rather you arrive with the right expectations and leave happy:
📐 Size — this is a genuinely compact apartment. Cosy, not cavernous. If that's not your thing, this probably isn't your place — but if you're here to explore Melbourne, you'll barely be in it
🍳 Oven/stovetop — Kitchen is set up for simple meals (toaster, kettle, microwave if applicable) and the neighbourhood more than picks up the slack
🏛️ Older building — renovated in recent years, photos reflect current condition, with some light wear and tear throughout
🌤️ Light — living room is bright and north-facing; bedroom is quieter and more sheltered
🚪 Layout — sliding doors between bedroom and living room, and bedroom and bathroom
🫧 Laundry — washer/dryer combo in apartment (dryer function limited), separate dryer in building, drying rack in apartment
Any questions before you book — just ask. We're happy to help. 😊
