Secreted away beyond a courtyard off a hilly reach of Elizabeth St, Eleanor is a fab two-storey apartment for two, occupying a renovated 1890s stables building. Prices ascend over weekends; parking is $10 per night. Minimum two-night stay November to mid-May. If Eleanor is busy, the 'Hero Collection' includes two other heroic apartments in the city – check the website.
