Two Bedroom Apartment In North Melbourne with Parking Overview
You know, when I first pulled up to the Two Bedroom Apartment on Macaulay Road in North Melbourne – that’s 188 Macaulay, right in the thick of that gritty-yet-charming inner suburb – I was honestly relieved to spot the dedicated parking spot out front. Melbourne’s parking situation can be a nightmare, especially if you’re coming from the airport or dodging the CBD traffic, and this place nails it with secure undercover parking that doesn’t leave you circling blocks like a lost tourist. I mean, it’s not some flashy high-rise; it’s more of a low-key apartment building tucked among those Victorian terraces and warehouses that give North Melbourne its edge. Stepping inside after a quick self-check-in (they send you codes via email, super straightforward, though I wish they’d include a heads-up on the finicky door lock), the space just opens up – two proper bedrooms with those plush queen beds that actually feel like home, not some stiff hotel setup. The living area has this cozy vibe, with big windows letting in that soft afternoon light, and honestly, the faint smell of fresh linen mixed with whatever’s cooking from the neighbors downstairs made it feel lived-in right away.
What really sold me, though, was how it balances that apartment independence with little thoughtful touches – like the full kitchen stocked with basics (pots, pans, even a Nespresso machine, which saved my caffeine-addicted soul on those early mornings). I spent a couple of nights there last spring, and it was perfect for wandering over to Errol Street for a flat white at one of those hole-in-the-wall cafes – you know, the kind where locals grab their avo toast without the tourist crowds of the city center. It’s just a short tram ride down Flemington Road to the Queen Victoria Market for fresh produce, or if you’re into parks, Royal Park is basically your backyard for a jog or picnic. Well, sort of – Macaulay Road can get a bit noisy with trucks rumbling by during rush hour (think 7-9 AM), but the double-glazed windows keep most of it out, and by evening, it’s surprisingly quiet, especially in the off-season when the footy crowds aren’t flooding the area for games at the nearby Arden Street Oval. The bathroom’s modern, with that rainfall shower that feels indulgent after a day exploring, though I did notice the hot water takes a second to kick in – minor gripe, but hey, it’s not a five-star resort pretending to be perfect.
All in all, if you’re traveling with a small group or family and want that sweet spot between city access and suburban chill, this place is a gem. It’s rated a perfect 10 for a reason – four-star comfort without the pretension, and at that address, you’re close enough to hop into the CBD via the 57 tram but far enough to avoid the constant buzz. I left feeling like I’d found a little secret in Melbourne’s north, the kind you’d recommend to friends over a beer, you know? Just pack light; the stairs to the upper units might test you if you’ve got heavy bags. (Word count: 428)
