    Exploring Melbourne as a Family

    Right in the heart of the City, the location was extremely convenient to explore all Melbourne had to offer on foot or by public transport. With a tram stop at the door and Flinders Street Railway station a short walk away, we had no trouble exploring the immediate surrounds and the outer Melbourne suburbs, including the beautiful St Kilda beach. We had a car and the free, secure parking was perfect for our needs and access out of the city to further destinations like Phillip Island and Sovereign Hill. Rob the host made our stay extremely easy, with his thorough communication from the time of check in until the time of departure. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 girls (aged 12 and 14yrs) and found the accomodation to be suitable to our needs. The kitchen was sufficient to cook all our evening meals in and most importantly the shower was hot and beds comfortable. A perfect Melbourne holiday.

    A bit dark and we kept hitting our legs on the corners of the beds! But no probs :)

    Very comfortable, has everything we needed, all modern amenities, excellent rooftop and views (perfect for viewing NYE fireworks), brilliant central location, good communication from the host, great to have an oven, microwave, dishwasher and washer/dryer, quality shampoo and conditioner, really happy with it all!

    The apartment was perfect! Cozy 2 bedroom apartment, clean and comfortable (and warm for the cold Melbourne mornings!). Handy to have the washing machine / dryer and onsite parking. Fantastic position, tram stop right outside, walking distance to Flinders Station and around the CBD. Close to cafes and restaurants! Rob the owner was fabulous to communicate with, check in / check out / key instructions were simple. Also a great view of the city at night from the rooftop! We hope to stay here again on our next visit! Thanks Rob!

    Not the fault of the owner but a neighbour's music was loud at different times of the day. Thankfully not at night!

    Rob the owner was very responsive and went out of his way to assist us as this was our first time in Melbourne. The apartment was very cool and central to trams, galleries, shopping, bars, eateries etc

    Phone coverage was patchy, so need to connect to wi-fi for calls. Radio also unable to get signal, so need to use Bluetooth connection. Dining chair not comfortable for remote working all day. No window for second bedroom.

    Great location for concerts at the Forum or Music Bowl. Well stocked apartment, most amenities thought of and provided. It felt like a home, with comfortable and quirky furnishings. Beds were comfortable, air-conditioner efficient, TV had logged-in streaming services, plenty of plates, cutlery, cups. Clothes washing machine had a dryer function, wash powder provided. Rooftop access for a great view. Quiet when windows/balcony doors closed. Very handy to have car park space included in booking.
