Apartment in Fitzroy

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 287 reviews

Top Floor Home in Award-Winning New Fitzroy Building

An open kitchen, dining and living area that incorporates a protected sun-drenched outdoor terrace. A big bedroom and a modern sleek bathroom with washer and dryer. New and super comfy bed and bedding and lots of wardrobe space for longer stays. Stylish decor throughout filled with quirky design and happy heathy plants. Fully equipped with quality crockery, cutlery, glassware and every kitchen utensil, pot and pan has been considered. This apartment is set on the border of Fitzroy and Collingwood - meters away from the vibrant Smith St and Brunswick St. This neighbourhood is filled with hidden cafes, restaurants, bars and quirky shops. The CBD is a short tram or bus ride away. In the heart of vibrant Fitzroy and Collingwood, everything is within walking distance. The apartment is on the top floor (5th) of a new and award winning building and every detail has been considered for a complete stay. Overlooking all the little cottages, homes and former factories with views all the way to the mountains. The pictures I've posted here really speak for themselves - you'll feel spoilt in this warm, comfortable home. Ask the host, a hospitality professional, for recommendations of must-go, must-see, and must-eat-at places in this lively neighbourhood. Set on the border of Fitzroy and Collingwood, vibrant Smith Street and Brunswick Street are only metres away. I will check you in personally - 24/7 late in to the night/after midnight - AT NO EXTRA COST. You will just have to inform me and I will be there to check you in. Sometimes, an early check-in before 3pm is available too as long as the cleaners have finished and the apartment is ready.
