It’s only fitting that after a bar dedicated to the martini lands in Melbourne (more on that over here) that we found ourselves an Airbnb following the same ethos. This is —an elegant stay tucked away in Melbourne’s CBD in the historic 1930’s Majorca Building. Chesterfield leather sofa, soaring high ceilings with towering windows, and fully equipped kitchen with chic yet luxe glassware, and complimentary olives for your martini-sipping. You can tell a great deal of care has gone into every detail, including the antique furnishings and art deco design.

The location is too perfect—right above the bustling Flinders Lane, boasting some of the best eats and drinks in Melbourne, and you’re that close to Flinders Street Station you can see it from bedroom's quaint balcony. It’s one bed, one bath, and open-plan kitchen and living for up to two people—ideal for a staycay with a mate, romantic getaway with a lover, or a great option if you’re flying solo for work or play.
