Good for a holiday or short stay
We spent 12 days at Merrigold on Central. We were very happy and comfortable there. Everything we needed was supplied. Great location, handy to all transportation, shopping and eateries

Thank you for your review Mitzi. I'm glad that you felt at home in the apartment and the location. It really is a brilliant location near so many things. ____ I hope that we will see you again, with your returning-guest discount when you book direct with StayCentral. ____ You are welcome to return here, but if you would like to try somewhere else for a change of scene, we have nearly 30 different locations around inner Melbourne, with more than 1,000 reviews at 4.9 Stars, so there are plenty of reasons to 'StayCentral' and lots of scope for variety.

Perfect place to stay in Melbourne
Even in difficult times we keep coming back to this apartment when we wish to enjoy what Melbourne City has to offer. Great location, great apartment with every facility on hand. Best of all is the ambience of the apartment in the midst of cafes, shops, sounds and sights.

Thanks for your thoughts Kathy. You have described Merigold on Collins very well; the apartment, the amenities and the very central location, close to everything you could need including the trams and trains.___
I do hope that we see you again, under happier circumstances, with your returning-guest discount. You are welcome to return here, but if you would like to try somewhere else for a change of scene, or if you need a bigger property for a larger group, we have nearly 30 different locations around inner Melbourne, with more than 1,000 reviews at 4.9 Stars, so there are plenty of reasons to 'StayCentral' and lots of scope for variety.

Hip and Happening
Such a great place. We were lucky enough to be able to secure the apartment for a long term stay from Dec to March and it was perfect for me and my partner. It's right in the middle of the best part of Melbourne's CBD. Coffee on Flinders Lane, and some of the best restaurants and bars on your doorstep. On the street level, it's hip and happening, the atmosphere is buzzing, but the laneway it's situated on is generally calm and secluded.
The apartment itself is really well set up with a galley kitchen, comfortable living and bedroom spaces, and a nice light bathroom. It doesn't feel like one of those boxy, modern developments that are so common these days. It's a real heritage building, with tall windows overlooking Collins Street. A perfect place to relax after a day out and about on the town.

It is a beautiful place isn't it; both the elegant, older style, high-ceiling apartment, but also the immediate location, and all the things it is so close to. I'm glad it was perfect for you, as you stayed there for a long time.___

Our favourite place to stay in Melbourne
This is the second time we have stayed in this apartment which we value more and more as many heritage buildings are being knocked down by developers.
It is our favourite place to stay when we have a lot of sporting, social or cultural events in the city. Great location, great style and great amenities!
Thanks Chris for making our stay so comfortable again!

It's so pleasing that our guests love our apartments in the CBD; especially the heritage buildings that have history and great style; and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay so much. We work hard to ensure all surprises are pleasant ones.

Characterful apartment in a great location
Light, airy, clean and comfortable apartment on the first floor of a historic building. The apartment is on the front corner of the building so has big windows on two walls, which were wonderful for light, and yet it remains quite private. Great location close, but not too close, to Federation Square and the Yarra River. Some street noise, but that's what you'd expect in such a central spot.

I have always loved this older style, gorgeous apartment with the high ceilings and super tall windows. To be able to experience this style of living in this brilliant, central location is just beautiful. You're right; it is very private, even with the big windows.
It's so nice to hear from our very first guest, and hear that all went well, and that you enjoyed it so much. We thought it was a stunning property, but it's nice to have it confirmed. It really is so close to so many things.
I do hope that we see you again; with your returning-guest discount of course. We have nearly 30 different locations around inner Melbourne, with more than 800 reviews at 4.9 Stars, so if you feel like a change there are plenty of reasons to 'StayCentral'. I look forward to helping you again next time.

Relaxing in style in a great location
A great place to relax in a very central location, close to everything. There is a tram nearby if you need to travel further, and Flinders Street Station is only 2 blocks away. The apartment is very comfortable, and very spacious. It is also really light and airy, with large windows both at the front and along the sides. There are many great restaurants nearby, both in the laneway just outside the door, and down in Flinders Lane. We will certainly recommend this apartment to any friends travelling to Melbourne.

Boutique elegance in a prime location
The personal touch of the owners is very obvious and adds to the ambiance.
Location is excellent, access to everything is remarkable. Both restaurants and supermarkets are handy, above average for a city center. Many US downtowns
are barren by comparison after 5:00pm.
Liked it so much have made another booking when we return to Melbourne at the end of February.

I love showing off our city to overseas guests with such a great apartment and location. It truly is magnificent isn't it? Such a large studio with it's own separate bedroom, bathroom and laundry facilities is quite unique.
I look forward to assisting you again shortly.

Thank you for the review Pip. The owners did an amazing job of setting up this property, but you’re right, the location is amazingly close to everything you could need, as well as the trams, theatres and big entertainment and sporting venues. I’m pleased that you found our admin and check in processes so seamless, and we do look forward to assisting you again.

Cosmopolitan laneway living
Beautiful pied-a-terre on Collins Street.
A wonderfully unique historic building located near bustling De Graves St and Flinders Lane you'll be spoilt for choice on where to grab a bite to eat or a coffee.
Stylish apartment of generous proportions with large windows to let the light flood in and high ceilings with room to relax and unwind.
Immaculately styled.
Everything you need is here!
The Stay Central team were friendly and helpful.
Did not want to leave!
