• Vanessa (10/5): -
• Cindy (10/5): Lovely homestay in Richmond (nearly Hawthorn). - The apartment was very clean, comfortable and in a great location. I was with my 80+ year old Mum who had an early hospital admission the next day. Being from the country we got there late in the evening due to travel time, but check in was easy and accessibility great. Parking was a little hard but that's just normal for inner suburban Melbourne.
• Juliette (10/5): Immaculate and quiet - The place was very clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable. Bran was a gracious and sensitive host who was very available but knew when to offer privacy. I loved how clean and tidy everything was. Very well resources and the tram and shopping centre were very close by There is no TV but that did not bother me at all.

• Bassem (10/5): Above expectations and surely coming again. - The place was very clean and neat, almost as good as a 5* hotel, private bathroom full of amenities, bedroom was awesome and had plenty of pillows strong and soft depending on the need, heaps of blankets and a heater for extra warmth, full kitchen supplies, honestly nothing was missing at all, to top all of that, Bran the host was super nice and welcoming, always helping when needed and going the extra mile. Nothing, it was awesome!

• Muqing (10/5): sweet home - The overall environment is really good, which is very consistent with the photos. We are working with Bran himself shares an apartment The main sharing areas are the living room and kitchen, in which the bathroom and bathroom are independent, and our own room is also independent. Bran is very friendly and helpful😁 The location is very convenient, it takes 2 minutes to a tram station and 5 min to a.shopping center.

• Mai (10/5): Exceptional - Very home-style and friendly
• Benjamin (10/5): Clean, Comfortable and Convenient - Bran was a great host. The room and facilities were clean, spacious and comfortable. It was in an excellent location, close to two tram lines that take you directly into the city or to major attractions. Would highly recommend staying here for any occasion.
• Natalie (8/5): Very good - We only stayed one night, but Bran was a very attentive host. The home is clean, warm and welcoming. Not the host's fault, but there is very limited street parking due to roadworks at the moment (Feb 2025). Paid parking is available in the shopping centre 100m away though.
• Kim (10/5): Exceptional -

• Leonard (9/5): enjoyed quiet friendly neighbours - Clean location price no tv
• Louise (9/5): A lovely place to stay - The communication with our owner was excellent and always helpful. Accessing the apartment was simple and secure. The room was large, comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated, We appreciated having access to the kitchen, which was very well equipped and to the large and very comfortable living area. Spotless bathroom and toilet. The location was particularly excellent for us, allowing access to a very nice stretch of the Main Yarra Trail for walks, a two minute walk to a direct tram line to the city and a very convenient shopping centre across the road.

Really really nice moment in Yarra river.
• Mary (10/5): Excellent! - Immaculate and comfortable Nothing
• Sanjay (8/5): Very good -
• Meaghan (10/5): Highly recommend - Absolutely excellent place to stay! Very friendly owners who answered my questions so quickly and were very flexible. Bedroom was excellent and plenty of spare linen & heater to keep warm. Above and beyond my expectations. Couldn’t recommend this place enough, so close to a tram stop. Overall was quite minimal noise from traffic/trams which made it much easier to sleep.
• Stefan (9/5): I'd happily stay here again. - The location was as advertised, and the facilities were faultless (though I used nothing other than the bedroom, so cannot comment on anything else). I love the creative use of the walk in robe, and the room itself felt welcoming and comfortable. The two things that could be improved with the property was that there was a minor issue with parking - I had a car and it wasn't known that I had a car. I have no idea where the miscommunication lay, but be aware there is parking advertised, but this requires confirmation prior to make arrangements. Failing this, there is an overnight rate ($5) in the secure parking of the shopping centre over the road. Socondly, there was no evidence of life present in the morning but the guest bathroom was locked, which hadn't been the case the previous night. I had an early checkout (somewhere to be) so was able to use the bathroom at the shopping centre over the road, but this could have been rather unfortunate.
• Samuel (10/5): Exceptional - beautifully clean, comfy, and the homeowner is absolutely lovely. the floor mats in the bathroom/toilet are not very absorbent and can stay wet for a while.
• Christopher (10/5): Very nice, centrally located apartment with helpful hosts and at a very moderate price. - We stayed 3 days. The hosts had the property in very good condition with the makings for tea and coffee thrown in. Heating was more than adequate for the cold snap at the time. They helped with the arrangement of parking for our car. There is an excellent pub (The Royston) just 6 minutes away where we had a lovely, moderately priced dinner in a very pleasant family friendly dining room. Nothing to complain about.
• Robin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andronis (9/5): Cozy stay - Always clean, quiet and friendly stuff
• Andrew (9/5): Superb - Clean tidy comfortable closet to shops and good and trams No TV
• Noel (8/5): We would certainly stay there again, value for money was excellent. Handy for IKEA. - Enjoyed the home away from home, missed having a TV but survived. Had our own breakfast with us. Would have liked an apartment with separate shower as we're in our 80''s and did miss having TV.
• Phil (9/5): Fantastic. We’ll def stay again when in Melbourne - Fantastic easy and clean abs great location for our purpose Nothing
• Tirthbhai (10/5): Exceptional -
• Helen (9/5): Superb - The hosts were very accommodating to our needs. It was very comfortable and pets were allowed
• Chris (10/5): Would stay again. - Owner was very helpful.
• Jake (10/5): Exceptional - Hosts were awesome and very quick to respond to any questions I had. The place was nice, quiet, very clean and the beds were cozy after a big night at a concert :) located right next to the mall too if you were needing easy access to the supermarket or movies etc Not much to comment on dislikes :D
• Evgenia (10/5): What a gem and a great value for money - I have always been weary about the places where the host lives in the same house, but I just needed somewhere to crash for one night in-between moving houses. This stay has exceeded all my expectations! Super comfortable and clean, it had everything I needed to relax and have a good night rest. Cozy lounge, functional kitchen, large bedroom with walk in robes. The apartment is nicely decorated and feels homely, yet I didn’t feel I was imposing on someone’s private space. (Once I stayed in a house that had owner’s baby photos plastered all over the walls and guest bedroom cupboards full of their private junk). The owners communicated very well, and I never got to meet them, they likely arrived late at night and were very quiet. So I actually had the entire place to myself. Can’t beat the location too, right next to Victoria Gardens shopping centre. Nothing, my expectations were exceeded, by far

• Geoff (9/5): Very good. - Close to business (hospital) and shopping centre. Traffic congestion.
• Andronis (10/5): It met all my needs. Especially located across the road from Victorian Gardens, 10/10!! Well done. - What a clever idea, turning the walking closet, into a little study. Perfect! Maybe have a spare bath mat handy

• Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Bran went out of his way to help with parking etc
• Andronis (9/5): Very pleasant - How clean and tidy and stylish it was
• Simon (8/5): Very good - Good access and great value. Shower was little iffy and air circulation wasn't the best (no fans etc)
• Felice (6/5): Clean, comfortable stay, but limited security - The apartment is well situated, clean, and the beds comfortable. Although there is no parking officially, I was able to park outside the apartment from 6pm as long as I moved my car before 8am (one hour parking only between 6pm and 7am). I hadn't realised that it was simply a bedroom and bathroom/toilet within someone's apartment. I also hadn't realised I'd be the only one staying (there's only facilities for one set of guests). The bedroom is separate to the toilet and bathroom (i.e. not an en suite) and, although the owner was not there at any point (I'm not sure that they live there), I felt a bit uncomfortable traversing the apartment to shower and toilet when I was alone there (as a woman). I also didn't like that I couldn't lock my bedroom from the outside when leaving the apartment.
• Tudor (10/5): Awesome location and apartment, really great room. Thank you, I will come again. -
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
