Catering to both short and long stays, this breezy apartment has everything you’ll need to make yourself at home, whether you’re travelling by yourself, family or small group. It has a bright, open plan design with heating and cooling flowing to a small balcony, perfect for relaxing in the sunshine with your favourite book. There’s a full kitchen to prepare meals at home, but you’ll also find plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants close by. Dine around the wooden table or use this space for setting up a laptop if you’re on a working holiday. In the evening, spread out on the leather lounge and enjoy a spot of TV. Each of the two bedrooms comes with a queen-sized bed along with black-out blinds to encourage a sleep in. You’ll also have plenty of storage space for your belongings. The neat bathroom highlights a combination bathtub and shower and is stocked with complimentary toiletries for your stay. Access to private laundry facilities within the building add to your day-to-day convenience. Parking is provided for one car.

The leafy, character-filled suburb of Albert Park sits roughly 15 minutes’ drive from the Melbourne CBD with South Melbourne on one side and Port Melbourne Beach on the other. Along Bridport Street and Victoria Avenue you’ll find a village of cafes and boutiques, including fashion, books and much-loved brunch spots (check out Lenny 3206). The suburb is home to lovely parks and sporting fields, with the picturesque Albert Park Lake taking centre stage, particularly during the Grand Prix. Stock up on gourmet produce at South Melbourne Market, walk or cycle along the foreshore to St Kilda Pier and relax in the stunning Royal Botanic Gardens close by.
