Excellent location
Nice apartment, clean, easy access, private courtyard. Most of usual things supplied. Take your own condiments. Pillows provided are very full and fluffy, take your own if you prefer a lower pillow. Parking spaces are for SMALL sedans only - no wriggle room at all. Very quiet, block of 8 flats, only saw one other occupant the whole week. NO traffic noise.

About the host

Hosted by Boutique Stays Accommodation Group

Host profile image
Established in 2006, Boutique Stays is a reputable Melbourne-based property management company providing short to medium term accommodation for guests looking for corporate, family, and pet friendly stays.
Boutique Stays began as a small, home-based operation born from a desire for a more appealing accommodation option for business travellers where guests could open a window, sink into a comfortable couch, enjoy fresh air from the courtyard, or cook their own meals rather than staying in a basic hotel room.
Boutique Stays has grown to offer a portfolio of more than 60 high-quality homes and apartments located across almost 40 of Melbourne's most iconic and popular neighbourhoods. We provide guest-ready properties catering to family groups and the corporate sector where guests want the comfort, space, value, and amenities of a private home. We welcome guests travelling for leisure and business, as well as those who are temporarily out of home while building, renovating, or getting insurance works completed.
