I am renting out a room in a brand new apartment in Fairfield Vic from the 24/02/14. It is located 6km from the city and close to public transport. The bus stop is 40 meters away and there are two train stations to choose from within a 5 minute walk.
It is also right next to Fairfield Boathouse by the yarra where you will have access to bike paths, walking tacks and canoeing activities all within walking distance.
