DESCRIPTION:
This an individual apartment located inside a classic, heritage, Melbourne CBD building (called Merigold on Collins) with a security entrance. The gorgeous, old-style, living area windows overlook Collins St directly below.
Perfect for two, your very well refurbished, split-level, Melburnian apartment is amazingly located in the middle of the CBD's cafe, restaurant and shopping district. Although it is strictly a studio apartment, there are large block-out blinds that give the bedroom complete privacy and restrict most of the light from coming into the bedroom area. Your swish Melbourne boutique, serviced apartment includes very modern, high quality furnishings and appliances, linen, towels, and large kitchen with lots of storage space.
Opening windows allow fresh air through the apartment when you want it. This is only one of many beautiful, boutique, inner-Melbourne apartments that are so well-located near shops, cafes, restaurants and trams; as well as the many attractions that Melbourne has to offer.
Car parking is available nearby for a small fee - monthly rates are as little as about $11/day.
All tea, coffee, toiletries, washing and cleaning products and other welcome supplies can be found in the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. You will need to purchase more of these consumables if you need them for the rest of your stay.
We have multiple alternative apartments available, in inner Melbourne locations.
Pet stays
Not all properties are pet-friendly, however, we offer a number of beautiful homes that are happy to welcome furry family members. Please let us know if you require accommodation to suit pets as this requires approval prior to booking. Should this home not be suitable for your pets, we will be happy to recommend some alternatives.
