Lovely compact apartment,but if I wanted to do beds & empty garbage I'd stay home and do it for free
The property is very nice internally, and clean. The bathroom is very nice and I appreciated the toiletries provided. A welcome gift basket with food and a bottle of wine went above and beyond. It was quite hot when I arrived as the blinds were up and all windows shut, but the air con soon fixed that. The road works the first night were a bit unpleasant, but didn't matter too much as I used the bedroom at the rear. The open plan kitchen is delightful, with every bit of equipment you could need. However the trend for these sorts of apartments to increasingly expect you to clean up & do housework annoys me. I go on holidays to get away from that. I can see the day when we're expected to do minor repairs and wash the floors! If that's fine by you then this reasonably priced and nicely styled apartment is close to everything, well furnished and equipped with cutlery ,crockery, big fridge and freezer (not a silly little bar fridge) and much more.

Response from VrboOwner on Dec 21, 2023
I am happy to hear you enjoyed the apartment Alison. As a small business owner I take pride in offering the best customer service possible. I was a little confused with the 2 star rating as a result. The only clean up tasks I ask of my guests are to remove rubbish and place any dirty dishes in the dishwasher. I didn’t think this was too much to ask. Have a great Christmas.
About the host
Hosted by Angela
I am a mother of 3 adult children and two furbabies. I grew up in country Victoria but have lived in Melbourne most of my adult life. I am very much a people person and enjoy connecting with my guests to make their stay a 5 star experience. I have a passion for travel, which I have done extensively and enjoying life to the fullest.
Why they chose this property
Travancore is full of charm and character. It has streets lined with Elm trees and period homes. It's a great location that feels like your lost in a green leafy suburb although you're only 7 minutes from the City and only 12 minutes to the international airport.
The Melbourne bike trail also trails through Travancore if you want to safely get around with a bike.
The Zoo is in the adjacent suburb in Parkville with one of Melbourne's only inner city natural vegetation parks.
The tram stop is also conveniently on Mt Alexander road that comes right past Travancore for all the public transport lovers and a train stop near by too.
For the dog lovers there is has a huge off lead dog park too.
This little gem of a suburb is so close to the CBD. Perfect if you want an inner city lifestyle but still feel like your living in the leafy suburbs.
