As you step into this eclectic enclave, an array of inviting cafes, bistros, and eateries invites you to embark on a culinary journey, ranging from delicate pastries to global gastronomic delights.
Immerse yourself in the local art scene as galleries and cultural hubs beckon, showcasing contemporary expressions that resonate with the city's creative energy.

As daylight transforms into a starlit backdrop, Melbourne's nightlife springs to life, offering cosy bars, rooftop lounges, and live music venues where the rhythm of the city merges with your own.
Beyond the urban vibrancy, verdant parks provide pockets of tranquillity, offering respite from the bustling streets. Nearby markets, including the renowned Queen Victoria Market, introduce you to the pulse of local life, where fresh produce, crafts, and diverse communities converge.
With seamless connectivity, Kimono serves as your gateway to Melbourne's iconic landmarks, ensuring you can easily explore the city's diverse districts, each with its own character and charm.

Getting Around:
Your urban getaway is nestled in a prime location with a range of convenient transportation options to explore the city and its surroundings. Here's a rundown of the transportation choices available to you:
TRAMS: Melbourne is renowned for its extensive tram network, and lucky for you, there are tram stops within close proximity to your apartment. Trams provide an excellent way to navigate the city, reaching popular destinations like the Central Business District (CBD), St Kilda Beach, and Fitzroy effortlessly.
BUSES: Bus routes crisscross the city, connecting various neighbourhoods and attractions. If you're looking to venture beyond the immediate area, buses can take you to different parts of Melbourne and its suburbs.
WALKING: One of the joys of staying in central Melbourne is the walkability of the area. Many attractions, cafes, shops, and restaurants are within comfortable walking distance from your apartment. Exploring Melbourne's charming streets on foot allows you to truly immerse yourself in its culture and atmosphere.
BIKING: Melbourne is bike-friendly, with dedicated bike lanes and paths throughout the city. Consider renting a bike to explore at your own pace and discover hidden gems that might not be easily accessible by other means of transportation.
RIDE-SHARING: Services like Uber and Lyft operate in Melbourne, providing a convenient option for getting around when public transport isn't your preference. Ride-sharing is especially useful for reaching specific destinations outside the typical routes.
CAR RENTALS: While Melbourne's public transportation system is extensive, if you plan to explore areas outside the city centre or take day trips to nearby attractions, you might consider renting a car. Keep in mind that parking can be limited and expensive in the city, so be sure to check parking options in advance.
TRAIN: Melbourne's train network is another viable option for reaching more distant destinations and suburbs. Southern Cross Station, a major train hub, is within reach and connects you to regional areas and even other Australian cities.
Whether you're enthusiastic about trams, relish relaxed strolls, or lean towards the convenience of ride-sharing, your apartment's central location offers a range of transportation options right at your disposal. Embrace the convenience of navigating Melbourne and experiencing its rich array of attractions from this well-connected urban sanctuary.

We know that in general, guests value their privacy so we are available as much or as little as you need. Our concierge team will be available to help you before, during and after your stay if required. The best way to reach us is through the Airbnb app. Alternatively, please feel free to call our landline or mobile number.
