From the Owner
"We bought this apartment as our Melbourne retreat while living overseas — and we’ve furnished it to be a place we'd love to stay ourselves, not just a serviced apartment. You’ll find everything you need to feel truly at home — from soft beds to a welcoming lounge and a sunny balcony. We love how easily you can wander to the restaurants of Southbank, catch a show at the Arts Centre, or take a quick tram to the beach. Melbourne living at its best."

Perfect inner city holiday apartment
We loved cityside on Whiteman. The owners have thought of everything to make you comfortable. The little details are very impressive. Board games, tv with streaming services for the odd rainy day / evening wind down. Kitchen and living room really well supplied with everything you need.Two generous sized bedrooms and two bathrooms make this really comfortable. There is a tram stop right outside and you can catch a tram straight to St Kilda beach.

Brilliant apartment
Great apartment. Chris was amazing to deal with, as was Magy who greeted me upon arrival. Everything I needed was there, bed was extra comfortable, and location was perfect. Homely, clean and neat. Will definitely stay there each time I'm in Melbourne.

Comfortable and close to Melbourne Convention centre
We were very happy with our accommodation . 5 minute walk to convention centre and casino complex if that. Basic grocery store on corner. Comfortable and cozy. Would stay there again if going to conference
