Great location

Fantastic location, comfortable and easy digs to come and go - great shops, eateries, bars and cafes all around. Short walk to the city - perfect for our stay!

Perfect base for exploring Melbourne

Beautiful, well-equipped property with quiet courtyard but just a few steps from restaurants and friendly quiet bars. Easy stroll down to the MCG and the Yarra. Excellent communication with host.

Dirty and Smelly!

Unfortunately the property was not presented well: dirty and greasy cooking equipment, dust and hair on the floors. There was also a pungent smell of vermin (dead or alive?) that meant that it was not a pleasant stay given the price we paid for it. Further, there was one scourer pad and no other cleaning cloths or brushes for doing dishes or wiping benches, which makes it difficult to get and keep things clean. I think given the poor kitchen set up, it may be good to include a BBQ out the back for people to enjoy instead of being constrained to the kitchen that did not have baking/roasting trays. Certainly needs some work to continue on this platform or significantly drop the rental price.

Great Spot

A spotlessly clean apartment tucked away in a very quiet position just around the corner from excellent cafes and restaurants
