Close to Marvel Stadium and the Crown Casino Complex, the apartment is also a really good location for the Grand Prix. It's also very easy to get to the Rod Laver Arena (Australian Tennis Open) and the MCG too.
The best supermarket is Woolworths Metro at the train station with BWS liquor next door, while Queen Victoria Market is a 20-minute walk or 2 free tram rides away. This is a fabulous food market which has been serving the town since the 1950s.
For a caffeine fix, Gloria Jeans coffee is just downstairs but better coffee is around the corner in the laneway or up at Kinfolk on Bourke St. Perk-up Café is next door on Collins Street and if you’re there during the morning weekday commuter hours, they have cheap lattes ready to go. A favourite local restaurant is Higher Ground at 650 Little Bourke Street, and Syracuse Restaurant & Wine Bar is another elegant Italian restaurant with polished wood floors.

For stays longer than 30 nights, a mid-stay clean is required and will be arranged during your stay. This service is at the guest’s expense and includes a general clean of the property. Please contact us to confirm the schedule and applicable fee.
