Guest Reviews

• Angela (9/5): Very comfortable, nice garden views. Comfortable bed. - Close to transport. Cafes. Uncomfortable pillows.
• Peta (7/5): Despite the above minor problems. We had a fantastic trip to Melbourne. - Excellent location. Close to amenities. Clean and comfortable. Initially difficult to access. It was raining and the lock box was outside and not located as per the photo. This caused confusion. The other disappointed was there was no bath mat or hand towel provided. I had to make a trip to Myer to purchase the above.
• Angela (8/5): - The room was great bed was comfy nice & quiet location The carpark was too small for our cx5 maybe needs to be mention on the web site for only small car parking. Maybe need to draw a little diagram of how to get to unit from the carpark would be easier
• Moana (7/5): Great location, tidy but needs a little improvement. - Located directly opposite docklands mall, it was a convenient location to access good food and good shopping. There is also an arcade games place at docklands mall where there is fun for the whole family. Owner was very quick to respond to enquiries and good communication through out our stay. I will not blame the owner because they may hire a cleaner and not realise they are not doing it properly but, there was used tissues, hair and bits of rubbish in the bottom drawer of the bedside table, no batteries in the tv remote and no hand wash in the dispenser in the bathroom. We were delivered batteries and some hand soap when I let the owner know. Also the bench had random canisters and condiments on the bench but they were half full or empty? Not sure if we were supposed to fill it up ourselves? Maybe because the apartment is lived in when not being used as air bnb. Carpets had stains and the bedroom had not much room to move around.
• Michaela (9/5): Quiet place close to CBD - Perfectly located close to the waterfront and within the Free Tram Zone. It is a quiet place and had everything we needed. The dishwasher and washing machine are a nice add on if you need it. The Tram station is across the street and a big grocery store and lots of restaurants are only a few minutes walking away. We would definitely stay there again.
• Adriano (6/5): Não vale apena. - Quarto muito “frio”. Sem nem um travesseiro extra, sem cobertor. Quarto não foi arrumado no dia seguinte. Café da manhã não vale apena. Achei que fosse mais central. Funcionários educados.
• Cherie (1/5): Never stay here, EVER! - Location only The place was so dirty and the bed, you may as well sleep on the floor it would have been more comfortable and there are no top sheets. I booked for 3 people and sofa bed wasn’t made up or linen left out and we only got given 2 towels and we had to wait before we could even have a shower. Pulled the sofa bed out and it was covered in hair and not even able to be slept on, lucky I had a blow up mattress in my car for my son to sleep on. The toilet was dirty, kitchen cupboards and bathroom door had dirty handprints on them, dusty tv cabinet, no dish cloth provided to do the dishes, shower shelf was broken so all toiletries had to be put on the floor which resulted in my daughter hitting her head and my son sliced his finger open on the broken tile. The blinds in the lounge are see through and don’t block the light so it shouldn’t be advertised to accommodate 3 people. We even had the police banging on our door which terrified my children looking for the owner of this room! That shouldn’t happen anywhere where you stay! There was also no information in the room so we didn’t even know where the bin chute was so we had 3 garbage bags full of rubbish in our room, the pool and spa you actually have to walk outside about 100m in front of everyone in traffic to get to it in another building. The car park is near impossible to get into and when or if you do get into the car park you can’t open any doors but the boot and driver door so it makes it hard to unpack or you need to reverse out so people can even get in the car. I paid just under $200 a night and it was no where near worth that. The owner said she would cooperate with booking.com about a partial refund but she has declined to cooperate. Never ever stay here.
• carolyn (8/5): - Perfect location. Nice neat and tidy apartment. Unfortunately the bed was too firm for me.
• josephina (10/5): - De locatie is perfect, alleen jammer dat je geen uitzicht hebt. Maar het was er lekker rustig. Ook was het handig geweest als er uitleg in het appartement was ,hoe je bij het zwembad kon komen. Het uitzicht
• Letesha (8/5): Nice apartment, great location and view. - Great location close to everything. Clean modern building. Great view from apartment and very quiet. Apartment clean and furnished well. Host Sadia very lovely, quick responses to messages. Would happily stay again next trip but would like to see bathroom issue fixed. Overall quite good experience. Walls had a lot of smudge marks particularly in bathroom and near bedroom door. A quick wipe of the walls now and then would make the apartment look pristine. The bathroom tap is not attached and fell off on first use. Ended up using the kitchen sink instead. Shower mixer came off once. Bathroom felt like I was in a cheap hotel with these issues. Please invest just the small amount to fix these it took our overall experience from an A+ down to a B+.
• Dionne (7/5): Comfy and good location and the host have great instructions - The location. The huge comfy bed. Nice big fridge. It was a bit annoying that we couldn’t use the TV because the remote didn’t work (only a bit annoying). It was pricey for what it is.
• Wim (10/5): - Gratis tram stopt voor de deur. Supermarkt en wijnshop om de hoek. Prima bedden. 17 messen en 2 vorken was apert.
• Yvonne (10/5): Really enjoyed despite the above 3 items - Location Dirty toilet, shower on lean couldn’t hold anything, shower tap came off in my hand
• Lisa (10/5): Absolutely love the stay, was quiet and had everything in close proximity that we needed. Highly recommend. Great views, - Close to so many shops, the tram the bed was comfortable it was exceptionally clean and smelt so good! Had everything you need. Loved it all.
• Pauline (7/5): -
• Ak (10/5): -
• Barry (8/5): Comfortable facilities and clean - Close proximity to restaurants and public transport. No coffee machine available. No face washers available.
• Tegan (10/5): Amazing convenient - Location price amenities The instructions on picking u the keys were not up date or clear but contacted the host and sorted it out very quickly.
• Fardusi (10/5): -
• Astha (9/5): Worth the pool and comfy bed. - The location is great for easy access to the city, shops and eateries. The property has an amazing pool, jacuzzi, sauna and library area, with secure parking. It was nice to be able to relax and enjoy those amenities. We had a minor issue with check-in because I had requested an early check-in, but the apartment wasn't ready. But the host was extremely responsive and helpful in trying to sort out the check-in as soon as possible. It was a minor issue, so it didn't affect my stay. The bathroom shower didn't have a working shelf. I think that if that were fixed would add even more comfort.
• Sharon (10/5): Great apartment in a great location - Lovely apartment in an excellent location The parking spot is very difficult to get into, when the Ute is parked in front of it.
• Rayson (9/5): A very comfortable stay in the heart of the city. - A very central, but safe, clean and new neighbourhood within the free tram zone (at the time of publishing). Grocery and outlets are mere minutes away, giving much shopping convenience. We also took advantage of the dedicate undercover parking. The apartment unit was tidy, comfortable and equipped with a heat pump (cooling & heating) - an essential item in Melbourne's winter. Appliances were in excellent condition and we were able to used them without any problem. Unit has wifi connected to its own broadband. We arrived at night and entered from the garage, and while this is not a hotel or service apartment, the building attendant was extremely helpful in navigating us to our apartment.
• Hassan (10/5): -
• Ashlyn (10/5): Exceptional - Great facilities! Had everything we needed including kitchen pots and cleaning items. I loved my stay and would definitely book again!
• Philimon (9/5): Superb -
• Mario (5/5): Great location but the apartment needed to be cleaner - Great location The apartment was not clean. We had to wash the towels, sheets and pillowcases. There was hair on the sheets and pillowcases, there were used soap bars with hair on them in the bathroom, the toilet was not flushed, there was used food in the fridge and to top it off there was a pair of women's underwear on the balcony.
• Caite (9/5): Comfy stay in a beautiful location with facilities and shops nearby - The location and facilities! N/A
• Cheryl (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, close to everything, The apartment was very clean, had everything in it that you would need,over looking the park on the fifth floor was really nice, The car space wouldn't have been big enough for a large 4wd, I had a x trail and just fitted
• Gilda (9/5): Superb -
• Jenkin (8/5): Very good -
• Riyah (9/5): Superb - Great apartment with all the facilities we were looking for. The location was great. Good space and clean. Communication with the host was great, too. Happy to stay here again next time we're in Melbourne.
• Alison (8/5): Very good - Nice quite location but close to easy free transport. Nice easy walk to Marvel stadium. Few little things that would have made the stay great but overall nice place if you are a couple with no or small car. Second bed/sofa is very uncomfortable, lucky we had an air mattress to put on top. Best for a couple and not a family. If you have a large car 4wd don't park in the carpark. Was near impossible to get out once the person behind was home.
• Donald (10/5): Exceptional - The Host was very lovely and helpful. Fantastic spot in front of tram , walking distance to everything in Docklands.
• Kriste (9/5): Superb -
• Dave (8/5): Nice room, lively spot to stay. Needs a few basics in the room. Maybe clear instructions on how to find the room and whe - Nice little spot, close to tram line. Comfortable and quiet. Neat little kitchen. Close to public transport. Pool and spa are great but have to leave the building you are staying in and travel outside to get to it Had trouble finding the property. At one point even entered the wrong building with the wrong key, wrong scanner operated the wrong lift and the wrong key unlocked the wrong door of a different building. Room had no basics like tea and coffee, soap or shampoo.
• Catherine (9/5): Superb -
• Simon (8/5): Nice weekend - Location Could only use the tv with subscription, no Ariel for free to air. No soap, shampoo, coffee, sugar etc. never stayed in a place without these basic items
• Jane (10/5): A fabulous and clean, and a great location. - Once we worked out how to get in (newbies to AirB&B) .. it was fabulous. Very comfortable and quiet and very convenient. I would definitely stay there again. Nothing
