Best Location and Host

I was on assignment for work and needed a location in CBD. Here is what I loved! The building was meticulous and everyone was friendly. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything I needed to really live there and make meals. As for the location it is by a tram stop and easily walk to the river for a meal or shopping. So many delicious restaurants in the area. Charlotte was wonderful and answered any question I had so quickly. I would absolutely stay here again.

Great building

The property was very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. It was a nice layout, other than the desk being in a corner (I go to Melbourne for work, so desk set-up is important). The property manager was extremely responsive, and the instructions to get into the unit were perfect (pictures included!). The only 2 drawbacks for me for the visit, was I was there for over a week, and there is only one set of linens, and so I felt like I was constantly having to do laundry (FYI, if you are American, its a "European" set-up on the linens - no wash cloths). I also cook a lot, and the kitchen utensils were barely adequate, with even having to put some back together. It was a great neighborhood, and the building was quiet, other than at 7am when there was always something going on in the alley at that time. Heating/air conditioning were not great, so definitely bring layers for winter (which I don't mind).

A great apartment to access the trams from in all directions or just as easy to walk everywhere if preferred. The host Charlotte was great to deal with and prompt with replies to messages. As previously mentioned in other reviews the apartment would benefit from a little updating but it was clean and warm and had everything you could want in it. We would stay again.

Such a great apartment to stay in if you're going to Melbourne for a holiday! Away from some of the craziness but still felt close to anything we needed. Small issue getting the keys but Charlotte was quick to respond and sort it out. The apartment itself was perfect to come back too, had everything we needed and felt right at home.
