Vibrant neighborhood

Guests say this area is walkable with lots to explore, especially for dining out.
Above the bustling streets of Fitzroy is nestled a beautiful bookish hideaway. Climb the stairs above a working bookstore to this light-filled, literary home that is conveniently located in the centre of Brunswick st.

A short walk from nearby Gertrude St and Smith St, you cannot beat this location amongst famous restaurants, music venues, boutique stores and galleries.

The space
There are two bedrooms.

The first is large, gorgeous and equipped with a king-sized bed, that faces right onto busy Brunswick street. Of course, being directly above one of the most culturally vibrant streets in Australia isn't exactly quiet, especially on weekends, but we do provide disposable earplugs in case that is useful for lighter sleepers.

The second room is lovely, cosy and equipped with a queen-sized bed a the rear of the apartment. This room is much quieter and darker and better for lighter sleepers.

There is also a small kitchenette, cozy lounge room with netflix, board games and small guitar, humble bathroom with free amenities and a private courtyard.

Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable.

Guest access
Check in: Check in time is 3pm. During bookstore opening hours, check in is via the bookstore where we will welcome you to the space and can show you around. We can also organise remote check in with access via the rear laneway. We may be able to organise early check in for you, depending on other bookings and cleaning times. If the bookstore is open, we are very happy for you to drop of luggage early, just ask when you book.

During stay: Once you have checked in, you are welcome to access the building privately via the rear laneway, or through the bookstore when we are open. Please note that this is a working bookstore and we use the ground floor foyer and side lane for access to the bookstore amenities and the laneway exit. You may cross paths with us in these spaces - I promise we're friendly!

Check out: Check out time is 10am. Please leave the keys in the apartment and send us a photo in the Airbnb chat so we know where to find them. We may be able to organise late check out for you, depending on other bookings and cleaning times.

Other things to note

Neighborhood highlights

Fitzroy is the vibrant, cultural heart of Melbourne with eclectic food, buzzing night spots and a kaleidoscope of street art every way you turn.

The traditional custodians of the land are the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung of the Kulin Nation and the Kulin name for the area is Ngár-go, meaning high ground.

We will gladly provide recommendations for restaurants, shopping or activities that we personally love - just send us a message in the Airbnb app. There is also a supermarket located just around the corner from the apartment. You simply cannot get a better location for your Melbourne travels!
