Description

These apartments, in an 1884 National Trust-listed building, are some of the best I've seen. They are a good alternative for travelers who like to cook their own food. The spacious apartments come with full kitchens, including a dishwasher, and maid service; three-bedroom units are all split-level. Those in the south block are older in style but have contemporary furnishings. Those in the north block are new and a little more upscale; they're farther back from the road, too. More than half the units have a tub, but specify when booking if you want to make sure you get one.Another option to consider is the well-placed Oakford on Lygon, 2-9 Finlay St., Carlton, VIC 3053 (tel. 03/8341 4777), about a 10-minute walk from the city center. The rooms here have no kitchen but offer great value, and I highly recommend them. The room rates below are the prices you can get booked over the Oakford website, the cheapest option. Facilities:
Restaurant; small heated outdoor pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; sauna; business center; limited room service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.
