Guest Reviews

• Ameet (10/5): -
• Elizabeth (9/5): -
• Andrew (10/5): Note: I was a little worried about finding the location, but there’s a big sign outside. There’s a florist in the lobby. - Oh wow! What a brilliant, amazing, wonderful little space bang in the middle of the city that I can’t speak highly enough of. Myself and my son stayed over the weekend of the Melbourne Grand Prix and what we found suited us perfectly. Value for money - easy to find and access, and the hosts were an absolute delight. I want to highlight my son is in the autism spectrum and for anyone who maybe has a child the same and is seeking a quiet space away from the hustle and bustle - this is your place. It’s like a little “mini home” right in the middle of Melbourne. After a day of noisy cars, we could escape to our little oasis and relax. The main room is so nicely set out - with cooking facilities and a dishwasher. There’s a sofa bed that I can vouch for being very comfortable to sleep on. Nothing is “cheap” as far as furniture or other appointments go. The shower is great. The washer and dryer meant we could go for 4 nights with just carry-on luggage. The TV has all the apps you’d want installed and all accessible - you don’t even have to stuff around logging in to your own YouTube or Kayo accounts it’s all under the hosts profiles. Simply brilliant. In summary - if you’re looking for a quiet space in the centre of the city that has a feel of “home” not “hotel room” - this is it! It was all brilliant
• Chen Ping (9/5): It’s very good! - Location, decorations, clearance, bathroom hot water Too less plugs.
• Lynette (9/5): -
• Justin (10/5): We had a fantastic stay in this Beautiful - won’t hesitate to book again - Fantastic central location, beautiful property obviously cared for, spotlessly clean and has everything we needed or wanted. Highly recommend!
• Karen (9/5): The apartment was gorgeous. Decorated beautifully. Very cosy and the location was perfect - The location was perfect. The apartment was cosy and decorated beautifully. Small things only…there was a sign at the lifts saying not to put rubbish in the hallways then in the apartment a note saying put the rubbish in the hallway! Where is the bin outside?
• tomoe (9/5): 思いやりのある宿でした - ロケーション、全てにおいて便利でした。 他、すぐに連絡が取れ対応も早いので 助かりました。 特になし
• Amy (10/5): Great location, clean and tidy. Perfect for a couple. - Great location, loving the well equipped accomodation. Very clean and tidy. Perfect for a couple. Thank you so much!! Nothing.
• Daniel (10/5): Fantastic apartment in a fantastic location. A+ - Property location was amazing. The apartment was a home away from home, very comfortable and homely. Would definitely recommend.
• Ros (10/5): Fabulous Melbourne CBD apartment - The apartment is very well appointed, clean, cosy and very comfortable. The check in process and communication with the host is excellent. It felt like "a home from home". The location is also very central to Melbourne's attractions and transport system. We highly recommend this apartment and would book it again. Thank you!! Nothing!
• Paul (9/5): -
• Jette Møller (1/5): Det dårligste sted vi nogensinde har booket. - Beliggenhed var okay Alle vinduer vendte ud mod en snæver skakt. Man kunne kun ane himlen hvis man kiggede helt op. Det var umuligt at se hvordan vejret var. Der stod en kompressor (formentlig aircon) som larmede så meget at væggen bag hovedgærdet ved sengen rystede og larmede meget at det var svært at sove. Der manglede bestik (der var 1 normal gaffel og 2 kagegafler). Kun små tallerkner. Vaskemaskine og tørretumbler i lejligheden larmede så meget at man ikke kunne være i lejligheden når det kørte. Vi havde booket 3 overnatninger, men blev kun 1 enkelt overnatning. Et rædselsfuldt sted, kommer aldrig tilbage.
• Amy (10/5): A beautiful place in a super convenient location - Everything was beautiful and ample supply of everything I need during our stay. A home away from home. The location was perfect. Thank you so much! The home fragrance was a bit strong for me - unfortunately I sneezed a bit due to the strong fragrance used.
• Olumuyiwa (10/5): -
• Melissa (10/5): When you walk through the door, you can’t help but smile at such a beautifully presented apartment. - Perfect location. So many extras thought of that made the stay comfortable. There was nothing negative.
• Mizue (10/5): - From the moment we walked in to the room, we loved everything about this room! Beautiful wall arts, nice candles, antique crockery and welcome by nice jazz music...I loved everything about this cozy space! Nothing
• Thomas (8/5): Beautiful but Lacks Comfort - The living room was the stand out feature. The smell, the lighting and decor was exceptional. Truly a work of art. Loved the complimentary tea, lemons and coffee. The streaming services are really appreciated. It’s not super comfortable. The couch doesn’t face the TV, so it’s really hard to watch. Also, no blackout curtains, so when it’s light outside, it’s completely bright in the room and you can’t do anything about it. The duvet is very light, so if you want a weighted blanket for comfort, this isn’t it.
• Jeff (9/5): Very lovely apartment and so comfortable. Perfect location too.. - Homely and welcoming. Nothing!
• kevin (9/5): -
• MEIHONG (10/5): - It's a such lovely house, u can feel the detail about decorations,small but u can have everything u want, great location, nearby Chinatown, but if u need loudry, dryer need 2 or 2.5hrs will be better. no
• Cheung (9/5): Superb -
• Nicole (10/5): Exceptional -
• Samala (10/5): The perfect cozy nest to retreat to between adventures - Everything. It was such a calm and peaceful space even though it’s situated right in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Fabulous location, lovely decor, very clean, great amenities, soft and cozy, excellent bed comfort, including sofa bed. Coffee pod machine! Easy self check-in, clear communication and apartment instructions. Apartment was surprisingly naturally warm even when it was cold out. If you’re looking for how to put the blinds up and down, there is a designated blind stick in the right hand corner of the lounge beside the bedroom door - it’s not quite long enough though so you’ll need to stand on something (sofa/chair) to use it. A delightful florist in the foyer downstairs. Great value! Truly loved our stay here and hope to be back on our next Melbourne visit. The artificial scent was strong as there are a lot of heavily scented items, we simply moved a bunch of them to the bathroom and opened the windows during the day as it was clear skies. Bar fridge was very noisy during the night for the person sleeping on the sofa bed - wore earplugs to help.
• Shirralee (10/5): Cosy and charming apartment in an excellent location - Absolutely stunning apartment, beautifully decorated with high ceilings and all the extras you could ask for. Fantastic location right in the middle of the CBD. Close to trams without hearing them. Great instructions for address and access and excellent fast communication with the owners too. Very hard to find any fault. Maybe more options on the tv?
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nash (10/5): Exceptional - Beautifully detailed, excellent location for great value. There was one light we couldn’t find the switch for in the living room
• Samantha (10/5): Perfect apartment in a perfect location. - Lovely space with everything you need. Had our wedding across from the venue and so it worked out perfectly for us. Nothing everything was perfect.
• Jamie (10/5): Perfect in every way - Best little piece of paradise in Melbourne great location, clean and everything you need loved it
• Renee (10/5): Exceptional - Such a cozy setup. Love that all the amenities were available. So beautiful, truly. The location was a bonus to all shopping precincts. It was located in the best spot. Best sister weekend away. Nothing to report.
• Colleen (9/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our four day stay at the Lumi's stylish apartment. - Perfect location, but the unit was very quiet and tranquil. The decor was styled beautifully and the unit had good laundry facilities. Only small detail, but there was only a bar fridge (no freezer section) to store food for four days. Also, a small quantity of long-life milk would have been lovely to have with our cuppa when we arrived. It was a little difficult to find a convenience store nearby that sold milk.
• John (10/5): We stayed for 4 nights and had a wonderful time walking to theatres, restaurants and shopping. On previous trips we stay - An amazing property, right in the heart of Melbourne - literally next door to Myer and The Emporium. Incredibly convenient to just about everything.
• Lars (6/5): Pleasant - + nice kitchen / living room styling, not missing any functionality + very good location. + ok sound proofing from city noice - Low quality bed (on wheels?), not suitable for 2 persons. - Clothes line is broken - No hook to Pull down blinds so the bed room is really bright in the morning (early). - Check out cleaning is included in price but the apartment is not very clean. - To expensive, taking the negatives in account
• Lorna (10/5): Jewel in the heart of Melbourne - Home away from home in the heart of Melbourne. Central to absolutely everything in the CBD. We stayed for a week and couldn’t fault anything. Extra touches from toiletries to cleaning products. So much thought and care has gone into this apartment. We absolutely loved our time here and will be back. Nothing
• Nora (10/5): Exceptional - Emporium Heritage Gem is situated in a notable classical building in a prime location. Despite the hustle-bustle of nearby amenities including retail shops and trams, the boutique accommodation was so quiet and peaceful that we experienced a perfectly restful sleep, despite having four windows open. The ample spaces were kept pristine and radiated a sweet charm, and it was apparent just how thoughtfully curated the decorative elements were, featuring both modern and vintage touches. Entering the apartment was akin to being greeted by a warm embrace, and we were so delighted to have unearthed this captivating treasure. The Emporium Heritage Gem was perfectly situated for our ticketed events at the Princess Theatre, Arts Centre Melbourne, and NGV. A most memorable and treasured weekend.
• Susan (8/5): We enjoyed it despite the heat! Was great to come home to a cool comfortable & quiet space! - Location Comfort & Cleanliness….. & Quiet despite being at the centre of everything Nothing really
• Joanna (10/5): Fabulous apartment for our stay - Fabulous location. Great apartment with everything we needed for our 4 day stay in Melbourne. Hosts accommodating when we asked for slightly later check out N/A - we loved it and hope to come back next year
• Georgia (9/5): overall was a very very good place to stay and would stay again 100% - loved the style and location was perfect! everything was within walking distance that we wanted to see and it was lovely to have aircon and washing n drying machines, made everything very easy as well as having a dishwasher. was a bit difficult to have hot water for the shower, for the first couple nights no matter what time we went to shower there was no hot water and had to boil the kettle lol but for the last 3 nights we did have hot water so that was fine. also no plug for the bath :(
• Jesse (10/5): Perfect -
• Gerard (10/5): Highly recommend this for anyone who loves being in the buzz but can unplug in a 'sanctuary' - The place had a great vibe. Location was central, place was quiet, clean and very calming. Well fitted out. All good
• Francis (10/5): Relaxing - The cozy design N/a
• Britt (7/5): Great location, cosy feeling apartment - overpriced - Love the facilities- including washing machine, coffee machine, dryer, steamer, air con and dishwasher. Location was amazing. Everything was in the free tram zone or walking distance. Apartment was a good size for two people and had a cosy feel. Blinds didn’t close all the way and were difficult to reach even with the required tool. Apartment was cosy but furniture was not ideal if you planned to have a stay in vacation. Loved that there was free coffee but had to purchase our own milk and sugar to pair with it. There were old food items left in the fridge from previous stay. 11am check out would be ideal rather then a 10am given you can’t check in until 3pm. Slightly overpriced.
• Anna (8/5): Very good -
• Nguyen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alameddine (7/5): Good - Property was very clean, cozy and comfortable and in an awesome location.
• Stefania (10/5): Exceptional - Very helpful staff and amazing place. Everything was perfect
• George (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely sensational. In the heart of Melbourne and access to everything. Would recommend this place to everyone. I’ll definitely come again and let all friends and family know about this accommodation. Could not be happier. The review I read when booking a place to stay in Melbourne was ‘exceptional’ and it certainly lived up to land exceeded it. Could not rate this accommodation high enough. Absolutely fantastic.
• Hamish (10/5): Fabulous, amazing, wonderful, clean cozy and well positioned. - This place is super cool, thoughtfully laid out with stylish modern features, old style building with high ceilings, well appointed kitchen and bathroom, cozy comfy bedroom, we both enjoyed our stay here very much and will be booking in again soon.
• Lady (10/5): Go to Paris without a passport! - Everything! They don't make them like this anymore! Nothing not to like
• Tracy (9/5): Great location, clean and comfortable - Clean, quaint, everything you need for along weekend stay, easy instructions, great location. Not a lot of natural light, no issues when there are places to explore!
• Greene (9/5): Fantastic little apartment in a great location - really lovely homely unit nothing
• Kuo (10/5): Exceptional - Location nice, so beautiful and clean If they can have somewhere to keep the baggage will be more perfect
• Kristi-anna (9/5): I absolutely loved it! I’ll be back with my husband! - Great location, lovely little touches like the music on the tv when I arrived. Beautifully decorated. Comfy bed! Easy instructions for entry. Would be good to have dinner size plate and regular size forks (rather than the tiny cocktail ones). And some cracked pepper and olive oil. Plus there were a few hairs laying around (one in the bath, which I used, so was concerned about whether it was clean enough). But overall it was very clean so they must have been some strays…
• Groom (8/5): Very good - Great location, well appointed The lift was broken when we arrived and we had to carry our cases up 4 flights of stairs
• Lauren (9/5): We had the most amazing stay in the most perfect location. We will absolutely return!!! - This is the most perfect location, right in the heart of the city. Extremely easy to access transport, shops, restaurants, attractions. The apartment had so much character and beautiful high ceilings to make the space feel bigger. Very minimal to critique about this apartment. Small things to note- slightly more cooking utensils might have been handy. Maybe a fry pan and bigger pots but not a big deal and we made do with what we had.
• Sandie (10/5): Exceptional - It's a beautiful apartment!.greeted with music when we step into the apartment . Convenient location. At heart of the CBD. Will definitely come again.
• Tegan (10/5): Lovely & Cozy - Absolutely loved staying here. A super cozy unit, that has everything you could need for a short stay in Melbourne. Only downside is there's a building or door alarm that goes off consistently. Didn't bother me during the day, except at night it sometimes woke me up.
• Jason (10/5): Fantastic apartment - clean, great location, easy to access. - Location was fantastic, right in the heart of everything. The apartment was great, easy to access, had everything you needed. Having to leave !!!
• Flo (10/5): Great central apartment with lots of special touches and great attention to detail - Great location, fabulous apartment with lots of attention to detail and special touches to make the place a nice space to relax in. Nothing, would loved to have stayed longer!
• Spencer (10/5): This stay was absolutely awesome. Fantastic location, beautifully decorated and great value for $$ - This was a super cozy spot in a fabulous location. I felt very happy about finding such a gem
