I lived in Degraves street for 2 years and never wanted to leave! It was always a pleasure to step outside and smell the coffee from the great cafes and admire the European architecture.

Everything is conveniently close, especially if you work in the CBD. Flinders Street Station is just opposite and trams everywhere for transport, shopping is great, plenty of places to eat, Federation Square and National Gallery is a 2 minute walk away for some culture. Loved spending time by the Yarra River and Botanic Gardens close by.

Nightlife was great and was surprisingly less noisy than expected.

Only downside was the actual apartment I was living in (internet was controlled by the building and basically non-existent), but I highly recommend living in Degraves St and if the opportunity presented itself I'd definitely move back there.

I've been living on Chapel St for just over a year and I just love it. I don't own a car because everything I need is within walking distance: a great selection of restaurants, plenty of shopping, three cinemas close by and I'm right on top of Coles and Safeway for my grocery needs.

Only real downside on being right on Chapel St is that it is extremely noisy on Fri/Sat nights (to be expected).
