If running and cycling are daily priorities, look at nearby paths and bike storage as well as the room. Visit the beach as an outing rather than assuming a beachside base is most convenient for all Melbourne days.
Melbourne · Where to Stay in Melbourne
Which Melbourne neighbourhood suits a week of walking, food and cycling?
We want an apartment for a first visit but do not want an office-only area or a long trip to sights; running, cycling, beaches and casual meals matter more than nightlife.

Fitzroy or South Yarra may appeal for neighbourhood dining, while a central base shortens cross-city sightseeing trips. Map your likely destinations instead of trusting a blanket 'best area' list.

Compare actual apartments in a few neighbourhoods by the walk to transit, groceries and dinner. A lively street is useful, but read recent noise reviews before choosing a unit above bars.
