About this property
The apartment is on the fourth floor of a secure building on Palmerston Crescent, a quiet residential street in the centre of South Melbourne. The building has a lift. The apartment faces in a direction that keeps it calm throughout the day.
One queen bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom. An open-plan living and dining area that leads through sliding doors to a private undercover balcony, enclosed for privacy and suited to morning coffee or an evening drink without requiring anywhere to be. The kitchen has a gas stovetop and a full oven - the distinction from a glass cooktop matters if you intend to cook properly, and in South Melbourne, where the market is two minutes away, most people do.
Fast WiFi, air conditioning in the living area, a full laundry with washer and dryer, a TV for evenings in. Key collection is at a point 140 metres from the property - details are provided three days before arrival and the process is straightforward.
No parking is available at the building. Street parking nearby is metered and permit-restricted. For most of what South Melbourne offers, a car is not necessary. For day trips beyond the tram network, the short walk to alternative parking options is the practical solution.
The full apartment is yours: the queen bedroom, ensuite, living area, kitchen, and private balcony. Key collection is at a point 140 metres from the property. Full details are sent 7 days before arrival, and your collection code 2 hours before check-in.
I am available throughout your stay. Please reach out via the Airbnb App or for emergencies please contact on my mobile.
South Melbourne Market runs Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It is two minutes from the front door. The food hall, the produce, the coffee, and the general rhythm of a weekend morning there are the things that make the location worth understanding before arrival. It is a working market rather than a destination market, which is a meaningful distinction.
Clarendon Street is three minutes on foot and runs the length of the suburb with cafes, restaurants, and independent shops. Albert Park Lake is eight minutes by foot for a morning run, a walk, or a coffee at one of the cafes that sit along its northern edge. The Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit borders the park and is ten minutes on foot in March - a significant practical advantage during race weekend when transport and parking in the area become complicated.
The Melbourne CBD is five minutes by car or fifteen minutes on the Clarendon Street tram. South Wharf, the Arts Centre, and the National Gallery of Victoria are all within easy reach for a city day.
The tram stop on Clarendon Street is a short walk from the building and runs direct to the CBD in approximately fifteen minutes. The South Melbourne Market has its own street-level catchment that makes the immediate neighbourhood walkable for most daily needs. For the F1 Grand Prix, the Albert Park circuit is ten minutes on foot.
