Guest Reviews
- John (5/5): -
- Bronwyn (8/5): Comfortable stay - The hosts were friendly and helpful. Excellent security with remote controlled gate.
Lots of room to store items in the room.
Air conditioning was excellent.
Comfortable bed.
- Charles (10/5): -
- Clarke (1/5): -
- John (7/5): - See below Although I had booked and paid via the internet, on arrival I found it clean and presentable, but I only had a shared bathroom. As I am a coeliac, I needed a private bathroom, and so I was forced to find alternative accommodation.
- Taualii (10/5): Love staying there again - The house was good very professional how they treat us
- 奕維 (5/5): -
- Lee (1/5): Bad service - Nothing at all. I had asked for a shuttle from the airport about 6 weeks in advance, giving my flight details and arrival time (which was latish - 11 pm). As I hadn’t received confirmation a week before I repeated my request. No reply again.
Having arrived I sent a message that I was about to enter the Customs queue and would be outside in about 20 minutes, and asked how I could identify the shuttle and where I would be picked up. No reply.
I sent numerous further requests until well after midnight.
When I finally did receive something back, it was abusive in nature, and included a number of confabulations such as that I had demanded they wait two hours for me at the airport. Since all the messages were recorded it can be plainly seen that this was just made up.
Use this place at your own peril.
- Ty (5/5): -

Best place ive stayed
- Vishal (10/5): He is very helpful and safe car parking on drivay - everything is best i like everything
- Van Hau (9/5): -
- NGOC VIEN (8/5): -
- Michal (10/5): Nice place to stay near the airport - Very nice house with shared kitchen, livingroom and bathroom. I reccomended it for staying in Melbourne close to airport and car rentals
- Rose (1/5): Bad - The unit appeared modern and stylish, and for the most part was clean. Booked for two adults since the unit was advertised as having three beds but when we arrived the owner told us he had locked two of the three bedrooms and would require us to pay an extra $100 per night per room to have them unlocked.
A couple cockroaches seen in the kitchen and several long black hairs around the sink. The bed was quite firm and only had one thin duvet with no additional blankets or pillows available.
The unit is at the back end of the property, while a house at the front appears to be also a shared rental with a smoking area in the front yard, which generally had people present and smoking most of the time, as well as a dog that hung around the driveway when the owner(?) was out smoking.
In general the whole situation was a bit uncomfortable for us so we ended up sleeping elsewhere for the last two nights of our stay.
- Martin (10/5): .The COSY home.... - The owner is a very special person going out of his way and makes the stay pleasant and peacefully Can't think of anything at all that I wasn't comfortable about beautiful people exedeapo
JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHIN. I .DID MOT LIKE

- Wendy (9/5): Superb -
- Tahir (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sau (5/5): Passable -
- Craig (8/5): Relaxing stay - Close to amenities Everything was fine
- Susie (8/5): Very good - The home was lovely and clean, very secure.comfy beds. I thought when you booked a house and rooms, with shared bathroom, it would be just your family sharing the facilities. It was disconcerting to find someone else's toiletries in the bathroom. Dishes on the sink, although clean. Although there weren't any problems, perhaps in future descriptions of facilities, it should be noted that other unkown guests may be present in the home.
- Hoang (9/5): Superb -
- Hoang (9/5): Superb - A good choice
- Ousman (9/5): Superb -
- Huy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jean (10/5): Stylish modern house to stay and close to airport - Modern look and very accomodating owners
- Jennifer (7/5): Good - Quite & cosy
- Giang (7/5): Good -
- Ben (8/5): Very good -
- Imran (9/5): It was a convenient stay - Great location, next to amenities. The host was very kind.
The house was clean and had good supplies for making tea and coffee. It was a big house. Dog barking in the middle of the night at the backyard. Toilet and bathroom were in separate places, far apart.
- Allan (8/5): Very good -
- Nick (10/5): Exceptional - I was accommodated in checking in earlier than the advertised 14:00
- Mary-ann (8/5): Good for an overnight stay - The host was very accommodating and the room comfortable and lockable.
- Burr (7/5): Comfortable and clean -
- Aoife (4/5): Essentials met, not luxurious. - Good for late night, last minute emergency accomodation. Lock on bedroom door. PowerPoints in bedroom. Clean. The uncomfortable bed springs, no tv in bedroom, all facilities are shared and arranged as house common spaces.
- Magno (10/5): It is a Cosy place to stay - Everything was excellent the people is amazing the locations say is 15 minutos from the airport and was 20
- Maria (9/5): Superb - The location was spot on. The owners had to transfer us to a different property to better accommodate us. Clean and cosy place. Everyone loved the massage chair!
- Felix (9/5): Superb -
- Kelera (10/5): It was so wonderful and peaceful - It was nice and quiet I liked everything about it
- Thi (9/5): Superb -
- Hannah (10/5): Very cosy stay; and close to airport - Felt very secure and safe in the property, check in was smooth and easy. Comfortable beds, loved the massage chair for use. Airport transfer made sense money wise for two people (as you pay per person). Henry was a very hospitable host. Nothing
- Ethan (10/5): Very welcoming -
- Tanya (9/5): Value for money! - Lovely house, super clean and modern One toilet and separate to shower for all the rooms
- Lisa (8/5): My teenage daughter and I stayed here. It was a very comfortable house. The other guests were lovely, which helped as it - A very nice property on a quiet street. Beds were very comfortable, newly renovated kitchen, coffee machine, and massage chair. The couches were very comfy to sit on as well. The bathroom and toilet area could be a little cleaner, but I was still very comfortable to use the facilities. Needs to have hand towels and tea towels where they are easier to find, as I had to go searching around the house for some. Having Netflix available , would add to the experience, but obviously not necessary.
- Rashbrook (7/5): Very convenient - Didn’t have breakfast Noisy neighbours dogs
- Hac (2/5): Never comeback - Nothing Poor furniture and service
- Rosaariopaz (7/5): Good - Really close to the airport, the massage chair was a good extra, the bed was great, and all the privacy and system was really good. We felt safe.
The common areas are big and clean. The toilet and shower weren't really clean, the toilet was really smelly.
The room is a little bit small and without space for putting the bags, but it was okay anyway.
- Billy (5/5): Great price but not what I would recommend. I think best having a private room for the extra cost - The house is very nice. The location is good if you have a hire car. One bathroom and one toilet for the many guests. You can use the kitchen and laundry. Walking distance to the shops or eateries. The bed was very comfortable. The owner has an ex criminal homeless guy living there with his dog. It felt a bit uncomfortable. He gets in your face and tells you his life story. Kinda felt like an expensive boarding house. Can't say I would return.. another guest approached me as she felt unsafe. I understand times are tough for some, but when paying over $100 for a room with up to 7 other people, I think these types of properties are starting to be glorified boarding houses or backpackers.
- Harshabud (6/5): Pleasant - The massage chair in the lounge. It's advertised as being close to the airport but the taxi fare for the 15 min ride is 40aud. So we paid 80 aud extra in taxi fares. Also, the bedroom (no 9) is tiny.
- Zahed (8/5): Recommend to others - Hentry was amazing with his customer service. he took the burden to pick us up right from aiport at 12am and took us to even a better room than the one we booked. Felt the airport shuttle was a bit expensive and the room was a bit further than I expected from the airport.
- Manalaysay (9/5): Superb -
- Margaret (4/5): Not as described. - Good facilities. Clean Does not meet description. Although it is on a nice street it is in a rundown neighbourhood. It is only 15 mins from the airport if you have a car or hire a taxi which adds significantly to the cost. The house is not occupied by the owner and he did not give access, as agreed, outwith usual check-in time. I knocked several times and a resident answered the door and contacted the owner who only then emailed the access codes for the outside and room doors. The public rooms were large and there were plenty of facilities. However, the bedroom had a bed and bedside table and nothing else. The whole house felt unlived in and was far from 'cosy' as described in the name of the rental which is what attracted me to itinthe first place. It was also inappropriate for a single woman to be staying alone in a house with a long term male resident. It was only when another woman arrived that I felt safe.
- Peter (8/5): Very good -
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - Confortable bed very nice people
- Carolyn (8/5): Great value and comfortable. I’d like to take the mattress home! - It was close to the airport, great for a one night stay but the room would be too small for a long stay. Clean, everything you would want and very affordable. Our locks were a little stiff.
- Laura (10/5): Lovely home! Great stay close to the airport - The property was extremely clean and very well equipped with everything you need.
Towels, shampoo, shower gel, tea and coffee included.
As well as a laundry machine and fully equipped kitchen.
There was also a small air con unit in the room which I very much appreciated!
The property is also only a 10 mins walk away from St Albans train station which then offers a direct train into the city. I loved everything!
- John (9/5): Superb - Henry was the perfect host. Clean bright accommodation Nothing
- Mykaila (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mykaila (10/5): Exceptional -
- Australia (10/5): Very good experience at this property, I will highly recommend everyone to consider this property for your stay in Melbo - Cleaning and comfy. Everything was perfect.
- Jason (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely fantastic hosts that provided me exceptional hospitality, you can tell the folks here are natural professionals. Comfy bed, a little bit of everything like the massage chair and a big TV to keep you entertained and relaxed in your down time. For the price they offer, money well spent would be an understatement.
- Fondas (1/5): Bad -
- Ian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shalin (10/5): Superb value and nice perks for guests! - Exceptional and amazing hosts that went above and beyond my expectations. You can see they really care about your stay. Worth every penny and a very comfortable deluxe bedroom.
Wow, coffee machine, washer and dryer with soaps, brand new massage chair, full kitchen with hob, blue tooth speakers and tv in main room, If you need anything Henry and his wife are very accommodating. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!!
