This one bedroom apartment is best explained as a contemporary city oasis in one of Melbourne’s best locations. Think: polished wooden floorboards, mid-century-style furniture, a clean, open-plan layout and pops of colourful decor—all while fit with contemporary fixtures and sleek finishes. An open-plan layout has the living area—which features a couch, sleek wooden coffee table and a wide-screen TV with Netflix—sitting alongside a four-person dining table and a fully-equipped kitchen. Enjoy the city’s famous culinary scene or cook up a storm, making use of all the modern appliances including a two-burner gas cooktop, oven, fully-sized fridge, microwave, dishwasher and all the cooking utensils. A well-lit bedroom features a queen bed dressed in quality linen and in-built, mirrored wardrobes. A pristine, modern bathroom features black-tiled flooring, a shower, large vanity and the convenience of a laundry area equipped with a washing machine and a dryer. Additional amenities include air conditioning and heating, and Wi-Fi. Plus, make use of the spectacular shared rooftop equipped with a BBQ and an entertaining deck for your use. Please note, all linen and towels are provided. Some basic necessities are also provided but those that are not are expected to be purchased by the guest. We have found that guests purchase consumables that build up over time. This system seems to work well.

South Yarra—arguably one of Melbourne’s best suburbs—is known for its vibrant cafés, Chapel Street shopping, trendy bars and overflowing restaurants; and you’ll be just seconds away from it all staying on leafy Darling Street. A short walk will take you to Chapel Street, Royal Botanical Gardens or the trendy suburb of Richmond. Head to Darling Cafe for a local favourite breakfast spot or treat yourself to dinner at Cucinetta, where you’ll enjoy delicious Italian wine and classic fare like cacio e pepe. Whether you’re here for the Australian Open Tennis, AFL at the MCG or Formula 1 Grand Prix at Albert Park; South Yarra is a stone’s throw from it all. Plus, if you’re not exploring by car, South Yarra Station is three minutes’ walk away and is only two stops from the city centre.
