Great property and location

Perfect location for what we needed. Easy walking distance to south Melbourne, Southbank and the cbd with a tram at your doorstep that takes you to the cbd, st kilda or port Melbourne. Only small issue is the tram noise through the night if you are a light sleeper.

Absolutely Fantastic!

The property was outstanding. It was close to transport, food, shopping. And the bonus for us was that it was directly across the road from the MCEC which we spent roughly 4 days at for a work convention. The apartment was spotless and had everything available for us that we could possibly need. The beds were INCREDIBLE. Probably my favourite thing about this apartment. Julie was a delight to deal with. Thanks so much for having us!

This apartment has it all!

This apartment was in an idyllic location, had a gorgeous outdoor balcony, which was like having an additional room. The bathrooms were luxuriously modern and the kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need. Julie's communication was faultless from our initial booking, checking in and then tips on how to make our departure smooth. She could not have been more helpful. There were so many extra features like a washing machine and dryer, bath in the second bathroom, pool towels etc..too many to list. We will definitely return to this beautifully maintained apartment, such a treat and made our Melbourne stay so memorable.

Fantastic Experience

My work colleagues and I had a conference at the MCEC and needed an apartment close by. We are so glad we chose Julie's apartment. It's a stones throw away from the MCEC but there is also a tram stop right out the front. Getting to the City and St Kilda is very easy. The apartment itself is also great. Other people have said it in their reviews but the apartment is really very well equipped. It really feels like you're home. But the best thing about our stay was Julie's communication. She's honestly one of the best hosts I've dealt with on a platform like this. Really easy going and helpful. Thank you Julie!

Melbourne Family Vacation

We greatly enjoyed this property. I would highly recommend it for its location and it’s comfort. It was as advertised and more. The closeness to the CBD and the crown casino and all the conference center and outlet center services was wonderful. We were finishing a two month family vacation and needed to just relax and unwind and this unit was perfect for our group. I am traveling with my wife and three adult kids and this unit was both spacious and close to everything we needed. It was so nice to also have a washer and separate dryer to do a little laundry. The only negative for this 3 bedroom unit was that there is only one bathroom but fortunately never was a problem with us. I would stay here again and actually planning a trip next year. I also want to say thank you to owner Julie who responded immediately when I had questions.
