Guest Reviews

• David (9/5): - Great location for us, quiet and comfortable Na
• Jayne (9/5): -
• Xiaogang (10/5): - Everything is good, such as location, cleanness, and facilities. The coffee machine was great. One thing I like to mention is the check-in instructions could be more detailed. It took a while to find the locker box and had to call the host to know the unit number. Otherwise all good.
• Carolyn (4/5): - Property was very dated. The bathroom mirror had a crack. Cleaning materials in the bathroom vanity with the hair dryer.
• Lily (10/5): -
• Robyn (9/5): Fabulous stay overall that made a positive contribution to our Melbourne stay. - Very suitable location, great facilities, extremely comfortable beds, good quality linen. Great access to the city by public transport. I would have liked to have had access to a full length mirror. I did reach out to the host by both phone and text prior to my stay using the phone number provided, but I didn't get a response to either attempt..
• Christie (10/5): - I was looking for somewhere that could house my family and be able to facilitate parking. The place was cosy and comfortable for our stay. The beds were comfortable, and everyone slept well. Love the retro charm and the name 'The Warbling Magpie'.
• Harpreet (9/5): -
• Alan (8/5): Good location and very comfortable -
• James (10/5): - Comfort, cleanliness, location, coziness, and ease of access. Slightly odd design and layout, but nothing major.
• Lisa (4/5): Dissapointing - Location Not being given the apartment number for check-in, I thought it would be on the keys. Stairs not in advertising Advert reads two bathrooms. It is an ensuite with a shared toilet between the laundry, which has a shower. There is no way that shared toilet is suited to 6 people. Outside area mouldy, BBQ rusty and dirty, garden overgrown. Lounge area dusty especially books. Linen and towels need replacing or freshening.
• Evans (9/5): Happy travellers! - Lovely and light filled! Very comfortable and well appointed too. We all had a nice time. Easily accommodated a family of five. Thanks! A bit on the chilly side downstairs, just the design I guess, the hot air rising from the heat pump to the bedrooms and out the glass. But there were loads of blankets provided to stay warm.
• Wendy (6/5): Pleasant - The lock box for the keys was hard to open and close. Had trouble fitting the keys in and then closing the door.
• Karen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Katrine (9/5): Great appartment for a family visit to Melbourne - Fantastic location, close to the city, the zoo and the parklands. Great kitchen, comfortable rooms and the owners were available to help.
• Leah (8/5): Very good - Easy to get to, had parking for an extra car, had everything we needed for our family and a really great location. Close to the Zoo and trams not far away.
• Adrian (8/5): Very good -
• Neville (7/5): Convenient location, clean small art deco apartment. - Accessibility to transport 1 toilet
• Chloe (8/5): Very good - I really liked the cosy, clean house with everything you need. I didn't like how there wasn't a note of no blinds in the highest windows. Normally it would be fine but travelling with a toddler makes nap times impossible. We had to put his cot in the bathroom to sleep.
• Joley (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nhi (7/5): Good - Has everything we need. Tiny cosy space in the historic old vibe The host did not give us direction prior to arrival. The PIN code for lockbox was wrong and we had to call the host to get direction and it was confusing.
• Gus (10/5): Homely and accommodating 🤙🏻 - Perfect for what we needed. Two showers helped with 4 adults and 2 kids. The little touches to make us feel at home, grateful for. Nothing to dislike, just a little different it what I’m used to. Nothing to put a sour note on the trip.
• Nitesh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sasha (8/5): Very good -
• Natalie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Steph (9/5): Superb - The location of this apartment is awesome, we were playing in a competition at the State Hockey Centre and could get there easily by car or walking. Lots of restaurants and cafes close by along with supermarkets etc.
• Daile (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ian (8/5): Great place to stay when visiting Melbourne, loved the location. - We loved the location with an easy walk to the tram stop and the size of the property for the 6 of us. A 20-25 minute cab/Uber fare to the property from the airport, and an easy 25 min tram ride to the city and 10 minute tram to Brunswick, very central to what we wanted to do in Melbourne. There is nothing to dislike about the property, and this is not a criticism, and if you are a light sleeper we did want to let future travelers know one of the bedrooms is not fully enclosed and is open to the downstairs lounge/kitchen area. When you look back at the photo of this bedroom you can see it isn't fully enclosed, but this was something we didn't initially think to look for when viewing the online photos before booking. Some of us were up earlier than the others and we kept waking up the person in this bedroom as they could hear us downstairs. The owner of the property was wonderful, no question too hard and was very quick to respond. Thanks so much Adrian, we had a blast as we were all friends with teenage daughters meeting in Melbourne who were lucky enough to see the 2024 Taylor Swift concert.
• Darren (10/5): Loved our stay and will be back! - Great location, gorgeous funky 1970s decor, equipped with everything you need. NIL
• Anthony (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nick (10/5): Exceptional -
