If experiencing Melbourne’s unique culture, it’s fabulous street art, its endless cafes and restaurants is an experience you want, then you must stay at this amazing house and location. The Melbourne Fitzroy Terrace is perfect in so many ways. The house is superbly decorated and renovated; yet it retains its old charm and history from the 1880's. It’s exactly like the pictures on the website. Fitzroy North is a hidden gem, only a few minutes away from the bustling hip and funky Fitzroy. North of Fitzroy is beautiful with wide tree lined streets and period charming houses; the popular Edinburgh gardens and the friendly village shops are all only a few mins walk. You have the best public transport in this area; there’s tram 86 which is a one minute walk and within 4 tram stops (or 10-15 min walk), you will be transported to the popular funky Smith st and trendy Getrude st Fitzroy (we loved these areas,they are probably the coolest places in Melbourne for street art, live music, bars and every cuisine restaurant you desire). Take your time to walk the lanes and streets and see the street art, it’s magic. This tram also takes you directly to the City and Docklands Waterfront. There’s also tram 11 which goes through trendy Brunswick st, Fitzroy; here you will find more restaurants, rooftop bars and shops. There’s a train station close by if you need it. Parking is not a problem, you can park right in front of the house. Vivian the owner is passionate about Melbourne and wants her guests to get the best out of Melbourne.
