Mate's TableMelbourne · Where to Stay in Melbourne
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.
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.
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.
