Great quiet location. Comfortable space, clean facilities and host has gone the extra mile supplying the little things like sunscreen, dishwasher, hair-dryer, etc. Awesome coffee shop a few minutes walk away on Brewer Road. Host Joe found the right blend of allowing privacy while offering attentiveness and easy communication if needed.

    Lovely, quiet and clean apartment in a great location close to beach, cafes and shops. Comfortable beds, excellent shower, everything you need in the kitchen, sunny courtyard, and responsive host. It ticked all boxes for our 12 day stay in April. Highly recommended.

    Very comfortable apartment. Highly recommended. Far better value and comfort than a hotel. Great location on Bay Street (bay end) within 1-2 minutes walk to cafes and restaurants. Safe and secure complex that opens directly on to Bay Street. Was initially confused by the need to meet Elizabeth to get access, but its a large building and much better to understand once shown around and given instructions in person. Elizabeth is a lovely person and great host.

    Comfortable and quiet location, unit was very spacious and had all the facilities I needed in my trip. Just a stones throw away from Flemington racecourse, a short walk to the nearest shops and a tram stop in the doorstep that takes you straight to Queen Victoria Markets and the city centre. Host was very welcoming and happily helped out when I needed it.

    Apartment was gorgeous! Stylish decor, clean, comfortable & spacious. As a solo female traveller I felt really safe in this location. Great location, not far from CBD & right across from Victoria Gardens shopping centre which was really handy for getting shopping in. Lots of restaurants etc. nearby. Also really quiet, didn’t hear anything from outside & considering how central it is was great! Check in super easy, host very easy to communicate with - highly recommend!
