Hannah’s place was very comfortable for our short stay in Melbourne. It was clean, spacious and quiet. Buses were at the door and the tram just up the road. There is a short walk to 3 shopping strips with lots to explore.

Well appointed, comfortable and appealing

This property just works! Thought has gone into every aspect of its furnishing and running however the wonderfully comfortable mattress and plush bedroom carpeting are memorable. Hannah is a caring host.

Great little apartment close to all amenities

Great place to stay if you have a pet as the garden is fenced in and secure. Close to transport and the Glen Eira and Glen Huntly shopping districts where there are a lot of eating-out options. The apartment is self contained, so if you want to cook and watch TV, you can comfortably do that as well. The owners are gracious and helpful. This has been a great place for me to stay while my house is being renovated. I have especially enjoyed the diversity of the neighbourhood.
