- Amir (7/5): -
- Heather (7/5): Small but clean, well equipped kitchen & well located - Booked here because I had to arrive 3 days earlier than planned. Easy to get to, well located, small but adequate for 3 nights & kitchen was well equipped Apartment was a bit smaller than I thought - but clean and well located

- Chinh Le Van (7/5): All is good except the noise I mention below. Please keep this in mind if you are a light sleeper. - - Good location. The room is in a big building in Melb CBD which is easy access to almost popular tourist spots. You can also find easily to get into tram/train/bus from here with just few minutes walk.
- Room is clear, cozy & modern with basic amenities for a short/long stay. The noise. The wind whistles & roars through the hallway and seeps into the room via the gap under the front door. It really a big noise, especially during the night. That noise stop when main door is opened, but it turns big when main door is closed. But we cannot leave the door opened... During the night, we cannot sleep because of that noise.
We contacted the host. They advised to take a door snake (which is in the wardrobe), put it under the main door, it will go across the bottom of the door to block the whistle noise. We follow the advice but it just work 60%., which means it helps reduce the noise, but it's still about 40% as loud as before. We still find difficulty to sleep.
- Simone (8/5): Value for money, great location, everything we needed - Self contained, fabulous location The balcony was frightening and small
- Kostiantyn (10/5): Відмінно. Сучасні апартаменти. - Розташування центральне, легко добрались транспортом з аеропорту і легко добиратись до всіх екскурсій. Супермаркет через дорогу і недалеко супермаркет ALDI з хорошим асортиментом і хорошими цінами. В апартаменті був в наявності весь необхідний посуд і приладдя (фен, праска і т.і.) Наявнісь балкону плюс для провітрювання. Ліжко зручне і достатня кількість рушників. Столик біля дивану дуже мікро, хотілось би мати більшого розміру для прийому їжі і тому приходилось користуватись робочим столом.
- Ali-Smart (4/5): Overall decent place, wasn’t expecting the best for $700 but definitely got catfished from the photos. Also there were s - The area was great very accessible. There were spots or un clean areas, the photos were also somewhat catfishing to what we arrived to.
- Samuel (7/5): Good value for money. - Location Safety switch went and couldn’t be fixed so we had no stove.
- Luine (7/5): - great location and clean noisy air con
there was a beeping sound coming from outside all night (from the power/electic box I guess)
- HIROMI (10/5): メルボルンに行く際はまたお願いしたいです - とにかく場所が最高でした
部屋タイプがいくつかありしたが、一番良いお部屋タイプを選択しましたが、窓側に高いビルがあるにも関わらず、景色は良かったです ディフューザーの匂いは少し苦手でしたので、ナチュラルなものだとより良かったです※棚にしまったまりま帰ってしまいすみません
- Khairene (7/5): -
- Brady (2/5): -
- Anna (1/5): Do not stay here unless you want to experience mass stress and anxiety. - Compared to prices in Sydney, you can get a decent studio apartment without spending too much money in Melbourne. I found multiple cockroaches in the apartment, likely an infestation and suggests the facilities are unsanitary and uninhabitable. I asked to leave and be refunded from the day I saw the first cockroach to the day I was supposed to be leaving. I was unprofessionally urged multiple times to move to another set of their apartments, and when I clearly outlined I was not comfortable with this solution, and wanted to move out of their apartments completely, they did not listen and forcefully urged me to move to a different apartment of theirs. When I put my foot down, they attempted to discourage me by warning me I'd likely only get a 15% refund, which I was very unhappy with. They then proceeded to ignore my messages and calls regarding the refund for days on end, so I was left out in the cold not knowing if I was going to get any money back, and considering I was solo travelling and didn't haver much money to spare, this caused mass anxiety for me. Eventually they replied, claiming their 'boss' was sick to explain their lack of replies, which I believe was a complete lie. In the end, they ignored everything I was asking for, told me I'd get a pittance of a refund, and when I told them I was not going to accept this poor refund and was going further through other companies for a realistic refund, they ignored me yet again. Please save yourself the unbelievable stress and discomfort I experienced by not staying here.

- Noé (2/5): -
- In Sang (8/5): -
- Chloe (7/5): Decent money for value. - Nice and tidy room and building. Short walking distance to a lot of places in the CBD. Heaps of food locations very close. A Woolies on the other side of the road for easy groceries. Loved the rubbish shoot, easy to dispose of rubbish and keep room clean. There was pretty much no hot water for the shower, even when you put it on full blast hot it was barely warm. Half of the nights it was just cold showers. The TV was kind of useless, no DVD player, no good channels, no options for subscriptions such as Netflix. Those are the only two things I can diss it on other than that the stay was great, we were out most of the time anyways so it didn’t bother us but it would have been nice to be able to watch a movie at night.
- Martine (9/5): - A bit noisy
- Quebailamo (10/5): - Very well conditioned

- pierce (8/5): -
- Jasmine (8/5): -
- LindaMiche (6/5): - Convenient area of town, right near Melbourne Central, shopping, restaurants, trams, markets The room was hot, one block out blind was missing, air conditioner very noisy.
- Vas (8/5): good stay - convenient location and comfortable room air conditioning unit wasn’t great and room got pretty hot during the day
- Francesca (9/5): -
- Queenie (8/5): - The balcony and the bathroom being close and not just glass that people can see through. The air conditioner is noisy and the wind outside sounds like someone is screaming. The TV is not a smart TV, therefore no Netflix to watch movies with.
- Montse (7/5): Apartamento muy céntrico y calidad precio bien - Buena ubicación muy centrico Habitación muy pequeña ,y no me gustó nada que haya que dejar un depósito de 200 dólares y tarden en devolverlos,podrían hacer el check out como en los hoteles y no cobrar nada si esta todo bien
- Pierreantoine.teulade (7/5): - Emplacement en plein CBD. Check-in souple et personnel sympa. Le problème de carreaux cassés dans la douche a été géré tout de suite en changeant de chambre. Belle vue sur le Victoria Market. Lave linge dans la chambre. Ménage laisse à désirer (éponge à maquillage sous le canapé).
- ciara (5/5): -
- Yasmin Celeste (5/5): Basic/ plain - The location Super tiny no space in the bathroom for leaving your things, Most hosts leave water on the fridge or fruits pretty basic in comparison with others places we stayed in Australia
- puri (10/5): -
- Terence (9/5): -
- Caitlin (8/5): - Everything about the room was good and it was close to everything me and my friend wanted to see, very comfortable My only issue was that the email I was sent about contacting the property to confirm I’m on the way to check in, the phone number included in the email didn’t actually work and was unavailable (it also didn’t match the phone number that was on the information sheet in the hotel room)
- Jari (9/5): - Kaikki ok -
- Jari (9/5): - Ok Kaikki ok -
- Zvadiwa (8/5): A solid option in the CBD - Very central location - walking distance to lots of points of interest, a supermarket just across the street. The apartment was quite small but clean (except for windows) and equipped with everything I needed. The building was quiet, the internet worked ok, appreciated having a washing machine there. Given how central the location is, it could also get a bit noisy on weekend nights and quite busy. There was a gap between the floor and the shower door so quite a bit of water would always come out on the bathroom floor. I was not a fan of the host's communication style (he did always respond quickly though).
- Dale (8/5): -
- Lorraine (9/5): Great accommodation for a couple of nights. Small but very comfortable. Clean and good location - Easy to contact to arrange collection time.
Everything explained
Friendly
- 王 (4/5): - 位置還不錯,附近有超市 有小蟑螂,香氛味道太濃了,聞到很刺鼻
- Kayiwa (10/5): The place is worthy the money paid, so clean, so peaceful - I loved the cleanliness of the room
The bed is really awesome
The kitchen equipment provided
Every thing was awesome The noise from the neighbouring room
- Alec Stewart (9/5): A few nights in Melbourne - Having a kitchenette, ability to open a window. comfortable bed. No ability to store your luggage at reception
- Castro (9/5): Comoda estancia y bien equipado - Muy buena ubicación sin ser ruidoso en la noche. Bastante moderno y bien equipado para cocinar cosas basicas, con lavavajillas, té, café, azúcar, sal y pimienta a disposición. Algunos hongos en la ducha (muy pocos), en general todo el resto estaba muy limpio
- Denise (8/5): -
- Monique (9/5): -
- Peter (8/5): Good stay, will recommend - Location was excellent, grocery store on the opposite corner and easy walking distance to the bus and train station Can be noisy during the night due to traffic and inner city noise
- Emerson (8/5): Good place to stay, good location and good value for money - Good location and apartment was filled with a lot of useful things such as iron and ironing board, dishwasher Cups were dirty
- Minh (10/5): -
- Claudia (10/5): -
- Ken (8/5): Great location and nice cozy comfortable room. - We enjoyed our stay, it was a studio apartment and had pretty much everything we expected. Excellent location near attractions and the markets, and very easy to meet the property manager for key handover. Perhaps some additional amenities, like shampoo and conditioner, but that is really splitting hairs (pun not intended).
- Jazz Ringi (8/5): -
- Srilekha (10/5): -
- Slamat (9/5): - Easy to find . Accessibility to most facilities. Booking in time, but staff accommodated me which was good
- Langer (1/5): Alles in einem kann ich jedem nur raten, diese Unterkunft zu meiden. Auf den Fotos ist es besser dargestellt als es in e - Lage war ganz gut, recht zentral. In der Unterkunft fanden wir leider 2 Kakerlaken im Küchenbereich. Zudem war das ganze Zimmer voll mit Schimmel. Zum einen am Fenster, an dem Rollo sowie die ganze Lüftung. Unter der Läftung am Boden war es nass und da hat sich auch großflächig Schimmel gebildet. Zudem war das Zimmer mit Teppich ausgelegt, was hygienetechnisch auch nicht gut zu reinigen ist. Als wir nach dem Aufenthalt (3 Nächte - die Kakerlaken und den Schimmel haben wir erst kurz vor Ende des Aufenthalts bemerkt, weil wir kaum im Zimmer waren) den Host kontaktieren, Fotos schickten und eine Forderung auf eine anteilige Rückerstattung stellten, bekamen wir nur eine sehr enttäuschende Rückmeldung.
- Chanelle (8/5): - Location
- Keagen (4/5): -
- Nicole (7/5): -
- Nils (8/5): Prima verblijf op een goede locatie. - De locatie was erg praktisch. De keuken faciliteiten hadden iets beter gekund.
Het was niet echt mogelijk om een fatsoenlijke maaltijd goed te bereiden.
- Siti (10/5): - Senang proses daftar masuk Dan keluar tak ambil masa yang lama...
- Jess (8/5): - Great location, clean, comfortable. No onsite parking but there is parking very close by.
- Guido (10/5): Perfect! - Alles was perfect. De studio was heel schoon, de locatie was geweldig en het personeel was aardig. De airco maakt veel lawaai
- Arthur (8/5): -
- Jie (9/5): - location is really convenient The wind noise in the hallway is really loud
- Nunzio (8/5): -
- Taylor (7/5): - Location I prefer a reception desk/ customer service upon arrival making the interaction easier but overall it was still a fine experience.
- Kelly (5/5): The room was smaller than I imagined from photos but still had enough space for everything. The whole apartment needs a - Great location, close to Melbourne main streets. Apartment was more dated than photos showed. The room wasn’t clean. Carpet was very dirty, when walking around in socks on the carpet the socks turned grey. Air conditioning turned on but didn’t work well, it spat out small amounts of water. Having it on or off was the same temperature in the apartment, disappointing as it was quite hot in the apartment with only one small window that opens.
- Stephanie (8/5): - The unit was compact and tidy, although the bathroom was very small. The staff were very helpful and allowed us to check in half an hour ahead of schedule. The shower recess could have had a more thorough clean around the base.
- Ruby (5/5): Good location, but was otherwise adequate. - The location is great and the price was good for a short stay like ours as we didn’t need to travel far and could maximise our days. The bed was comfortable. The check in process was pretty uncomfortable. Understandably, the accommodation isn’t a hotel so we had to let staff know our arrival time. However with flights and public transport, this has to be an estimate and the man at check in made me and my friend feel quite intimidated over text with blunt messages when we had to slightly delay our ETA (which we paid an extra $25 for as it was past 10pm).
We were then told ‘we were lucky’ when we arrived as our check in wasn’t as late as he expected. As two young girls, this wasn’t the most comfortable check in experience.
The place was adequate but not very clean, stains etc. But for a few nights it was ok as a centrally located base.
- CHIEN-YING (7/5): 尚可 - 地理位置佳,房內物品齊全且價格合理,有安全管制令人安心。 實際床型大小與預定時有落差,廁所洗手台極小很不方便。
- Samjhana (6/5): Great location, but cleanliness and service issues made the stay disappointing. - Great location: close/walking distance to the QVM, trams, Flagstaff station and restaurants. We stayed from 5/4 to 8/4 and unfortunately had a disappointing experience.
1. Check-in experience – Our arrival was delayed by about an hour due to flight and travel delays. We explained the situation and apologised multiple times to the older gentleman who gave us the key (wearing glasses). Despite this, he repeatedly questioned us in a way that felt accusatory, as if we were being dishonest, which made us quite uncomfortable.
2. Lack of basic supplies – There was only one spare roll of toilet paper provided, and the roll already on the holder had clearly been used. This felt inadequate for a multi-day stay.
3. Cleanliness issues – The microwave was not clean, with dried food (peas and corn) left inside. We had to clean it ourselves before using it.
4. Pest concerns – We encountered around three cockroaches during our stay. This was quite off-putting and suggests the property may need better pest control and overall hygiene measures.
- Ma Giejean (9/5): I really enjoyed my stay—great location, super convenient, and perfect for getting around easily. - I absolutely loved this place! It’s so cozy, and the location is perfect—right in a prime spot close to everything. I especially loved how convenient it was, being just a short walk to Tiramisu Bar (a must-try!) and right in front of Woolies Metro, which made everything so easy during my stay.
Overall, such a comfortable and well-located place. I would definitely stay here again! Though it wasn’t stated in the listing that toiletries would be provided, it would be nice if the host could at least provide some basic essentials like toothpaste and shampoo.
