The property was better than we expected and our expectations were high. Everything was good, there was so much of everything. Justin met us at the foyer to let us into our apartment and show us around the facilities. There was no grab your key off a lock and work it out for yourself! The owner kept in contact before we arrived and was always contactable should there be a problem or question. The location of the apartment was really good, close to everything we wanted. If we go back to Melbourne we will be trying to stay there again.

What a fantastic unit. Great views of Melbourne and centrally located. Very easy access to the Tram system and easy to stay in the free zones. The unit is equipped with everything you could possibly need. The owner is very responsive to any concerns. This was a perfect place to stay. We will stay again if we are ever back in Melbourne.
Balloons fly most mornings around 8am. It’s a lovely sight.

Fabulous location

Great communication with the owner and their representative for checking in. Master bedroom was great, though friends in the 2nd room found the murphy bed a bit uncomfortable Best equipped kitchen of any property I have ever stayed in, and the facilities were fabulous. As a couple we would definitely stay there again.

Thank you for the lovely 5 star review. We'd love to accommodate you again in the future. Regarding the Murphy bed in the second bedroom, it is exactly the same hotel grade Queen bed and base as the other bedroom. We have always received very positive feedback regarding the Murphy bed. The only difference is that it can be conveniently folded back into the wall frame to create more floor space if required.

Rael and Justin were fabulous. They made our stay easy, homey and chic! The condo is perfect in every way. The view amazing. The beds plush and comfy. Ample room to relax. The kitchen very well appointed stocked with everything you need. They helped us arrange parking in the building which was so helpful. The spas, pools and gym are exceptional. The location, could not have been better. Everyone and everything was perfection! Can’t wait to return. Justin and Natalia were so helpful with getting my camera back to me. Xoxo.

Great stay

We certainly enjoyed our stay at Rael’s place. It was well stocked and very clean. When a small minor repair to the toilet was called in, he was immediately on it, and had it repaired within hours. The location is very secure, and the 53rd floor view is stunning. Highly recommend!

Great apartment in great location

A lovely little apartment right by Chinatown with an easy walk to everything. Was a little nervous about paying outside of the Vrbo site but it was all legit and Rael was really great at communicating everything. If you are there for New Years Eve they set off fireworks from all the tall buildings and the view from the apartment was spectacular - almost at eye level! Overall a great stay.

Perfect family getaway!

We have had the best time staying with our two boys at Abode. The pool & table tennis space were amazing. Kids loved sitting in the spa on the 55th floor watching the sunset. Great food nearby & the property was brilliant. Rael & Angela were so helpful & responded to every question. The car park was so helpful & the views were to die for. Will definitely be rebooking in the future. Perfect affordable getaway if you live in the suburbs & want a city staycation

Communication with the owner from the moment we confirmed our booking with Stays was terrific. They even arranged a car park for at very cheap prices per 24 hrs. Facilities are great, you just need to pre book them for COVID restrictions. It means the pool is all yours during your timeslot. Easy access to transport and the most wonderful views. Thank you Rael.

Great Location and View!

We stayed in this fun sub-penthouse for 5 days. It was the perfect location for exploring the Melbourne CBD and abroad. Close to the trolley's and inside the free trolley loop. Quick access to most major tourist sites. Great view of sprawling Melbourne including the MCG. A safe and secure area and the building's concierge was a nice safety net when I got stuck in the elevator. They were able to get me out within 10 minutes! Highly recommend this apartment for your visit to Melbourne.

Enjoyable Stay

We were a group of 3 ladies staying at the apartment, and were very happy with all the amenities. My only complaint was that we expected to be met there around 11.30 - 12 as arranged with Angela but when phoning Daniel he could not get there until 1pm, we left our luggage with the concierge they did not seem to keen on the idea. This did not spoil our stay as everything else was perfect, the view was fantastic, the apartment was very handy to everything in the CBD, Angela answered all my questions quickly and was more than helpful.
