Guest Reviews
- Roberto (7/5): - Everything was alright, except for the sofa bed which was quite uncomfortable.
- Robert (8/5): - Clean & comfortable Noise from other side of unit walls
- Catherine Pik Wai (8/5): Good stay. - Very well equipped. Everything you need for cooking is there. Maybe it’s the weather….it probably would be more comfortable if the unit can be warmer and less humid.
- asami (10/5): 総合的にはよかったです - 全体的に広くて快適でした 説明がないので外の電気がわからなくて
夜帰ってくると真っ暗で少し怖かったです
- Joanna (10/5): Lovely - Clean, centrally located and as described
- KATHRYN (9/5): Great stay at a comfortable, clean home. Highly recommend - It was spacious, very clean and the bed was comfortable. Generally it was quiet and the location was great for our trip Would suggest adding a milk frother to make the morning coffee
- Peter (10/5): Great place to stay - Very easy communication with the host.
Entry to property was easy & it was extremely clean.
Accessibility was easy & only a short walk to the station & cafes & restaurants in the area.
A little gem.
- Anna (10/5): -
- aoran (9/5): 很方便舒适的入住体验 -
- Abu (9/5): - The place was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed during our stay. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone planning to stay near St Kilda. The area was peaceful and quiet.
- Judi (10/5): We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the quiet location after busy days at the tennis and seeing friends. - It was well situated close to tram and bus routes that we required. Much better than staying in a hotel as you had space to relax in addition to your bedroom - a lounge and dining area as well as an outside undercover courtyard.
Recently renovated with useful inclusions. The owner was on site so there was help at hand if we needed anything.
The bed was very comfortable and the unit was quiet at night.
It had all necessary facilities and was very clean. More coat hangers would be useful but apart from that everything was fine.
We would have loved to stay longer ……..
- Scott-Fitzgerald (8/5): -
- israel (10/5): Exceptional - It was a nice, small, very cute place. Very clean. Location was exactly where we were looking for. The host was great, great with communication and explaining everything. Nothing. I loved everything
- Lynne (9/5): Comfortable and convenient to where we were headed - Supplied our own food. My only issue was the bedroom was way too light. It was a full moon and the bedroom was quite light by 4.00am which made it hard to sleep longer. The bed was comfy and the bedding.
- Beate (9/5): -
- Bernard (9/5): Truely a home away from home. - Convenient, with a washing machine and a dishwasher made it great for a multi-day stay. Parking available in the driveway. Very detailed check-in instructions. Only minor issue was that we struggled to get Netflix to work on the TV. My son says that it is because the router runs on 5GHz and the TV on 2.4GHz.
- Gwendolyn (8/5): Good and cheap. - Washing machine & bath tub. Cooker hob takes very long to heat up. Hard to cook.
- Beate (10/5): - Perfect accomodation!

Communication was excellent
- Sara Houseman (10/5): -
- Kim (10/5): Great location, quiet street, clean & tidy property - Fantastic Location, easy to get to. Walking distance to shops. Very clean and tidy. Owner onsite and was absolutely lovely. No face washers - my only complaint.
- Benjamin (8/5): Nice. Clean and good location - Decent size bedroom and bathroom and outdoor area The adjoining apartment was only a sliding door in one part and a couple of locked doors in other areas. It felt like an attached boarding situation rather than an exclusive place

Definitely recommend this accomodation. 10 out of 10. Nothing.
- Emma (9/5): Enjoyed it immensely! - Very clean and perfectly described! The mirror was not cleaned properly. Very streaky with toothpaste. Otherwise, it was very well taken care of.
- Hannah (8/5): We stayed to attend a concert in Melbourne. It was clean and tidy and walkable to cafe/supermarket as well as the tr - The property was very clean and tidy and the host was very helpful. Tea, coffee and milk were available in the accomodation.
Plenty of linens and towels. Wifi was available and the info book was very helpful! Unfortunately we couldn’t connect the wifi to the TV so were unable to watch netflix.

This was the best accommodation. it has 3 rooms. Loungeroom / kitchen which has everything you needed, milk and bits and pieces to use. reverse air conditioning, dishwasher. A door leading to the Bedroom with a very comfortable bed. Then a door off the bedroom to the good size bathroom with Shower, bath, toilet and wash basin. Towels, face washers, liquid soap, shampoo and conditioner was supplied. all the rooms are a very good size and very clean. If we have to return to Melbourne we will certainty stay here again. Very good free WIFI Thank you HANNA I was concerned about the street parking at first but talking to a guy that lives a few doors down said he has never had any trouble and he has been there for many years. so no problem there.
- Michelle (7/5): - Clair, calme, confortable et bien placé.
Très bien pour un petit séjour à Melbourne. La salle de bain est jolie mais pas pratique. La douche est une véritable épreuve!
On aurait apprécié une boîte de mouchoirs en papiers, une table à manger un peu plus grande, une serpillière et un balais.

- Jaquelina (8/5): Very good - Super comfortable bed and soft sheets. Located in a good spot and spacious. The bath is designed so that the faucet sticks out over the side of the bath where your back should go, which makes it a little uncomfortable but it’s not a major issue.
- Diane (10/5): Very comfortable - Well equipped
Clean
Nicely furnished
- Pek (10/5): Really is Home away from Homr - Nice, tidy, well equipped home. Excellent location with street parking. Easy check in and out with keyless entry.
Eateries and Coles supermarket close by. Nothing
- Fiona (8/5): Good for short stay if mostly out and about - Great bathroom. Comfortable bedroom with plenty of storage. Good instructions from owner. Sitting area very basic as only sofa was convertible which wasn't too comfortable
- Rebekah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stuart (9/5): Great comfortable experience, feels like a 'Home away from Home' - Location was great for my purposes, I was working in SE Melbourne. The unit is very clean, bed was very comfortable, the bathroom is fully tiled, modern & clean, shower had hot water and good flow, overall unit facilities were great (reverse cycle aircon, pod coffee machine & milk, kitchen fully kitted with cutlery, cooking eqpt, dishwasher etc.). So good to be avoiding the typical minimalistic sterile hotel experience. Some occasional background noise from other units that may be a bother to others, but not overly intrusive. There are other units adjacent, so this is part and parcel of living in a shared building. A hotel is no different to this. Parking on street is a bit of a luck of the draw, but again a hotel is no different to this.
