“Plum Serviced Apartments Carlton presents a compelling case for travelers seeking value in a prime Melbourne location. The serviced apartments, while not flawless, offer fully equipped kitchens and laundry, lending a distinct advantage for longer stays, and that quiet terrace is a true find. I think it balances affordability with enough comfort to make it a practical choice, especially given its proximity to Lygon Street and easy access to transport.”
