Summary:
Maisonnets invites you to experience this spacious warehouse conversion located in the ‘Docklands Cotton Mills’ precinct. Professionally styled with sustainably sourced furnishings, this apartment offers an open-plan kitchen/dining area, 2 bedrooms, a mezzanine living area, an office/study space, and laundry facilities.
Perfectly located, you can walk to nearby eateries and the Footscray Art Centre. It’s just a short drive to a Coles supermarket, Footscray Market, the Western Health Hospital precinct, and Flemington Racecourse. The apartment comes with a dedicated parking spot for your convenience.
The Space:
An entrance area leads to a large kitchen/dining space with polished floorboards and eclectic artworks throughout. The kitchen features stunning orange tiling and comes equipped with a 900 mm Smeg oven, 6-burner gas cooktop, microwave, Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher, family-sized fridge, soda stream and a Nespresso coffee maker. A dining table seats 4 people (or more if needed). There’s also a Samsung front-loader washing machine and separate clothes dryer for your laundry needs. The apartment’s two bedrooms have polished concrete floors and rugs for winter comfort, with the master bedroom offering a queen-sized bed, ceiling fan and electric heater, and the second bedroom coming with a double bed and portable fan. The bathroom has a roomy shower recess with a frameless glass screen and a separate floating bath. A flight of stairs takes you up to the lounge area which has a 2.5 seater sofa, occasional chair, smart TV and radiator heater. There’s also an office space/study area.
The Neighborhood:
Situated just 5 kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD (Downtown), Footscray is characterised by its diverse multiculturalism and cool vibe - Time Out magazine placed it 13th in its list of ’50 Coolest Neighbourhoods in the World’ of 2019, and since the eclectic suburb has only improved with further gentrification. The warehouse apartment itself is well positioned, walking distance to eateries and the Footscray Community Arts Centre which is host to theatre performances, a bar, cafe and gallery spaces. It’s a 5 minute drive to a Coles supermarket, while Footscray Market, offering a wide variety of fresh foods and other stalls, is a 7 minute drive (or 18 minutes on foot). Footscray Park is heritage listed as one of the most intact examples of an Edwardian designed park and only an 8 minute drive from the apartment. The Western Health Footscray Hospital and Western Private Hospital are both a 12 minute drive, as is Flemington Racecourse.
Getting Around:
The apartment comes with a dedicated parking spot. If you prefer public transport, nearby buses service the area, and Footscray train station is a 17 minute walk from the apartment.
Other Things to Note:
* Before you arrive you will be asked to complete guest verification through third-party provider Truvi. This is done to ensure we are keeping up-to-date with short-term rental regulations as well as providing both our guests and our properties with extra protection. Truvi will contact you via email and/or text to complete the verification. Please do so prior to arriving at the property to enable a quick and easy check-in process.
* This apartment is accessed via stairs and is therefore not suitable for guests with mobility issues. Whilst it is only one level up, being a warehouse conversion, the ceilings are high so there are three flights of stairs to apartment level. Definitely worth the climb:)
* Due to strict noise policies in strata buildings and Australian council by-laws, guests must avoid making loud noise, particularly between the hours of 10 pm – 8 am. Please understand that guests who break this rule may be evicted and financial penalties may also apply, depending on the circumstances.
* An additional $40 will be charged to your total if a check-in happens after 8 pm, and we require your arrival time as the Concierge does not live on site.
* A mandatory full clean of the property and complete linen change will be done every 4 weeks and added to your total booking amount for any booking longer than a month. This will be added to your total amount and processed separately.
* Extra $40/night will be charged for guests after 4 or if the sofa bed needs to be prepared.
*If you are eligible for a full refund as per our cancellation policy, a processing fee of $50 still applies.
*After check-in, if you choose to shorten your stay, you will receive a 50% refund of the unused nights of your booking.
* Please note that this property has been specifically catered for short-term rentals by MaisonNets and is not a hotel.
