Good kitchenette; close to restaurants - good, but that also means there can be some late night noise on the weekends so take earplugs. Close the Aust Catholic Uni, parliament house and easy walking to Fec Square and the National Gallery of Victoria. The Little Gordon cafe next door is excellent for coffee, brekky n lunch.
