Guest Reviews

• Joanne (8/5): Very good -
• Lucie (7/5): Good -
• Angela (8/5): Our stay was nice, close to all shops and transport. - Breakfast was always amazing and always easy to find somewhere to eat (it's Melbourne, food capital of Australia).Our stay was nice, close to all shops and transport. Ken the host helped us return our forgotten luggage; we are very appreciative of that. apartment has amazing view of marvel stadium. small suggestion with bedding. maybe a thick bed protector and new pillows will make for a nicer sleep. however best value for money and very central to all and the city vibe. main Bed, wasn't to comfortable, could do with some extra thick bed protectors for extra comfort and nicer pillows.
• Jen (1/5): Very disappointing stay – would not return - Our experience was nothing like what was shown in the online pictures. The apartment we were given looked completely different and was in poor condition. The carpets, couch, and pillows were heavily stained, and there were scuff marks all over the walls, which gave the place a very unclean feel. The couch was also broken, making it unusable. There were no pillow slips provided, no mattress toppers, and the sheets and blankets were incredibly thin – definitely not what you’d expect for a comfortable stay. We contacted the host asking for pillow slips, and when we returned later that day, we were shocked to find a man dressed in all black inside the apartment, having let himself in to deliver them. This was extremely unsettling and felt like a serious breach of privacy and security. On top of that, they only provided one key for four people, which made coming and going a hassle. Check-in was another issue – no instructions were sent, and we had to reach out ourselves once we arrived. They ignored all our phone calls, which made the situation even more frustrating. Overall, the place was nothing like advertised, poorly maintained, and poorly managed. We absolutely would not stay here again.
• Tom (4/5): Disappointing Stay at Nest@639 - Our two-night midweek stay at Nest@639 got off to a rough start and didn’t improve much from there. Despite multiple messages, we received no check-in details or apartment number until 90 minutes before the scheduled check-in time. We were then asked to pay a $300 bond, which I had assumed was already handled through Booking.com. Only after payment were we given access instructions—one of which was to “tailgate” someone into the building, as no access code was provided. This felt incredibly dodgy and unprofessional. Once inside, the keys and swipe card weren’t in the mailbox as promised, prompting more phone calls and waiting. A staff member eventually arrived and walked us to the apartment but had to return again just to bring one key and one swipe card, which is frustrating when more than one person is staying. The intercom system was also broken, meaning we couldn’t buzz in any guests. Combined with the single key/card situation, this made coming and going unnecessarily difficult. As for the apartment: Pros: Great views Centrally located Cons: Unclean: Hair and dust in the bathroom, stained and broken couch, and sheets so thin you could see the unprotected mattress beneath. Handprints and dirty walls. It is dirty. Broken sliding door to the second bedroom that wouldn’t close. Sketchy building: Police and detectives seen visiting more than once during our stay. Poor communication and access setup made the entire experience feel disorganised and unwelcoming. If you just need a cheap place to crash and aren’t fussed about cleanliness, safety, or basic hospitality standards, it might do. But if you value a smooth check-in, a clean space, and a sense of security—look elsewhere. This is a 3-star apartment
• Halwan (9/5): I'd come again -
• Grandall (10/5): Melbourne at it's finest - Wonderful location, very affordable. The apartment was clean and fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The views were beautiful overlooking the water and the AFL stadium . So close to Southern Cross station and tram stops perfect for anyone looking to experience Melbourne at it's very finest.
• Kate (8/5): Very good -
• Jane (1/5): Credit booking to same time next year for free in a clean apartment , some compensation should be handed that was trauma - Mattresses through out the apartment where filthy to the extent of looking like someone had given birth on and multiple mattresses not just one . bed linen had blood stained dooner’s just clean side up , dishes threw cupboards were not clean. Oven door broken . No clear signage to pools ,rock climbing , cinema etc. pool and gym out of order due to broken door ,
• Aqilah (9/5): Perfect - Love the property, the location is very strategic and easy access with tram as well as walking distance to Southern Cross Station/Spencer Outlet Mall with coles and other shops. The property condition is superb and clean. I especially appreciate the view 😍 The host is very kind to help us amend the date of check in as our flight got rescheduled as well. Superb stay!

• Katho67 (10/5): Great value for money - Convenience to southern cross and trams
• Banita (1/5): Bad - Area and it’s close to Melbourne centre. City vibe! Dirty, floor is not clean, area not vacuum, I was sneezing whole time. Very uncomfortable stay so far. Very Bad communication as well.
• Melanie (8/5): Great location, close to shops, trams, restaurants. Suited our family perfectly. - Location was fantastic. Access to gym and pools was a bonus. Layout of apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms was perfect for our family. Nice and warm in the Melbourne winter. Some minor maintenance that needs attention.
• Diana (9/5): Would definitely book there again - Location view. Balcony Stained carpet head hair in bathroom
• Jackson (10/5): Central stay, great views. - Hosts were receptive and understanding about a change of dates. Great views and comfortable facilities. It's right in the heart of Melbourne, and across the road from Southern Cross Train Station, so very easy access there.
