From the Owner "We bought this apartment as our Melbourne retreat while living overseas — and we’ve furnished it to be a place we'd love to stay ourselves, not just a serviced apartment. You’ll find everything you need to feel truly at home — from soft beds to a welcoming lounge and a sunny balcony. We love how easily you can wander to the restaurants of Southbank, catch a show at the Arts Centre, or take a quick tram to the beach. Melbourne living at its best."
