Fitzroy has become a hotspot for short-let travellers looking to experience authentic Melbourne. The suburb attracts a diverse mix of guests. Tourists flock here for the street art, vintage shops, and independent cafes. Corporate visitors choose Fitzroy for its proximity to the CBD and business districts. Event attendees stay here during conferences and festivals held across the city. The neighbourhood's appeal means consistent demand throughout the year, with peaks during major events and school holidays. Properties here range from converted Victorian terraces to modern apartments. Most successful short-lets are one to three-bedroom places within walking distance of Brunswick Street. Guests expect character and location over size. They're willing to pay premium rates for properties with original features, good design, and vibrant neighbourhood access. Fitzroy's reputation continues to grow as part of Melbourne's broader appeal. The suburb has fewer short-let properties than inner suburbs closer to the CBD, which means less competition for your guests. As part of Melbourne's dynamic tourism economy, Fitzroy offers reliable occupancy potential for property owners willing to manage professionally.

I’ve been incredibly lucky with Alex Taylor: professional, friendly, and always helpful. He’s handled everything brilliantly - I’d give him 6 stars if I could.


For the past year, my Houst contact has been incredibly helpful - coordinating repairs, upgrades, and even being on-site when needed. Super reliable and accommodating.


The staff is available 24/7. Messages sent are replied to very quickly. The information about the properties is detailed and clear. Everything goes very smoothly.


The house is well maintained and clean, the dashboard provides up to date and historical information & the guests are taken care of.


I have had a brilliant experience renting my property through Houst. Everyone has been very hands on and contactable which has really put me at ease.
