OK, so it's pretty hard to get pumped about a laundry right? Wrong.
Urban Laundry was a ray of bright light in a dreary Melbourne winter for me a couple of years ago and I will be forever grateful. Living in a cold, damp, 140-year-old rental property up the road, I was forced to venture out into laundrette territory in order to get my clothes dry. I tried a few places and was invariably left cold. The coin machines would be broken, or someone's laid a turd in the corner. Then I found Urban Laundry in North Fitzroy and my laundry drying experiences became tolerable again, you could say I even looked forward to them.
They have an actual person here, and a change machine, and they will sell you powder, and it's well lit, and it's clean, and the driers are huge, and they are cheap. This place is the best laundromat I've ever visited and I kind of miss it now that I have a dry, newer house. Dang. read more
