This accommodation is located in the central city and a tram stop is right in front of it, so it is very easy to go around. It is also very well equipped with a washing machine and a kitchen with all the necessary crockery and equipment so we could stay as if we were living in Melbourne. The owner and staff were very friendly and the only thing you need to bring is a toothbrush set. We were very satisfied with our stay.

Apartment with everything you need

Very spacious 2 bed apartment right in the cbd close to lots of visitor attractions and within 30 walking distance or jump on a tram outside the door. Very well equipped kitchen perfect for warming up food or cooking a full meal. Dishwasher takes care of the cleaning up. Very comfortable beds, lovely bathroom with washer and drier.

Location was excellent. It is within the free tram zone and apartment is well equipped with washing machine and dryer. The only setback is the noise from the tram passing downstairs which is bearable. Although there is no check-in counter, the person in charge Leo, a very nice guy was easily reachable thru his mobile. Highly recommended !

Location ok on paper but very noisy at night, hallway into apartment absolutely stunk the entire time so not the owners direct responsibility but you need to be prepared when booking. No luggage storage facilities so made it a bit tricky when leaving but upon arrival owner helped us to have room available early to put our things in. Was clean but no baking trays, placemats, no plug that fit the sink, you will need to buy or take extra washing up detergent (we left ours so hopefully still there for next person!). Stove quick and works, good size fridge, lots of tea and instant coffee and some but milk to get us started though. I think air con will be replaced after our stay so just check with owner as it was out of order when we stayed sept 2023 luckily weather not too hot or cold so ok without any fans or aircon. Great location for trams and shopping, comfy lounge and rug - bed linen Good quality but it’s a softer bed. Washing machine and seperate drier handy though most things dried overnight on clothes sorer (I accidentally left my small things clip on the sorer so you’ll enjoy that as no pegs in unit). Cupboard for laundry is right beside kids bedroom so plan Washing around nap time! Very limited towel hanging so we ended up putting our towels through the drier after each shower which isn’t great for the environment. Only 1 tv so if you have kids bring ping cords so they can plug in devices! Communication with owner easy via text he was quite responsive.

The property was comfortable and very quiet. I booked a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment which was not available when we checked in. We were given a 2 bedroom apartment with only 1 bathroom (which I realised after we had unpacked). This was was very disappointing. The toilet lid was broken and fell off if you closed the lid. The light in the 2nd bedroom did not work, the Bose speaker did not work. There was no dishwasher powder and the toaster was sparking the first morning. The apartment is in a great position in the city but the 1 bathroom and lack of attention to detail was disappointing.
