About this property

Quirky and Colourful on Foodies Favourite Lygon St

  • Quirky and colourful describe this gorgeous split-level townhouse — a home that oozes character and charm in one of Melbourne`s most celebrated cafĆ© and dining precincts. This adults-only retreat is the perfect base for couples wanting to experience the very best of inner-city Melbourne.

    The home is spread across three levels and feels spacious, warm and entirely yours — with the exception of two locked rooms and a garage reserved for the owner`s personal use when they`re not travelling. You`ll have full private access to everything else.

This is a really quirky property with a lot of charm. I wish I could give five stars, because this is clearly someone’s beloved home, but it needs a few tweaks before it’s fully ready to function as an excellent short term rental. The art on the walls gives the place a lot of character and the bookshelf is great to flick through. We also really appreciated the high quality and comfortable bed linens, which were spotlessly clean as well as the rest of the house when we arrived.Unfortunately we stayed here on the hottest day of summer, and the layout of the property is such that hot air accumulates in the only bedroom, and the house simply isn’t equipped to deal with extreme heat days. The whole property is like a time capsule from the 90s, with some of the fittings being quite worn and dated, which adds to the quirkiness, but summers were a few degrees cooler 35 years ago and the property could probably do with a revamp to catch up.The location is great for easy access to the CBD and communication with the host Peter was seamless. It’s a shame we couldn’t be comfortable in this charming home.
