    Comfortable and quiet location, unit was very spacious and had all the facilities I needed in my trip. Just a stones throw away from Flemington racecourse, a short walk to the nearest shops and a tram stop in the doorstep that takes you straight to Queen Victoria Markets and the city centre. Host was very welcoming and happily helped out when I needed it.

    Apartment was gorgeous! Stylish decor, clean, comfortable & spacious. As a solo female traveller I felt really safe in this location. Great location, not far from CBD & right across from Victoria Gardens shopping centre which was really handy for getting shopping in. Lots of restaurants etc. nearby. Also really quiet, didn’t hear anything from outside & considering how central it is was great! Check in super easy, host very easy to communicate with - highly recommend!

    Great location, very tidy and clean. Provisions for breakfast were great and a welcome botlle of wine made it just perfect. Double glazing windows made the apartment quiet & relaxing. The view from the balcony is espectacular! The host was very accommodating with our arrival time, priceless! We would definitely stay there again.
