Note from the owner:
This is the first place we bought together and we've loved hosting dinners on the large private balcony just as much as cosying up to a movie with some local takeaway. The soundproofed double-glazed windows creat a tranquil space to live and sleep. Waking up to a golden sunrise and enjoying a local coffee, some shopping, and a walk around leafy Fitzroy is the perfect way to spend a day. We also would often stroll home from events in the city or catch the 86 tram which comes every 5 minutes in peak hour. We hope you love it as much as we have!
