Very disappointing when we paid $920 for 3 nights - not worth it at all

The lighting in the bathroom was unacceptable - one tiny down light - impossible to see or attempt to put makeup on The blinds would not pull up on the balcony- the cords were broken/split and only one side would pull up, so unable to open The stove top was dirty The knives were dirty The rug was dirty The sink drain in the bathroom was kissing so the plug would not seal at all The sink in the kitchen would not seal so we couldn’t wash up properly and we were told we had to wash and put away our dishes prior to leaving!!! The balcony chairs had sticky residue on them None of this was acceptable for over $300 per night - we expected alot more

Great stay

Nice cosy flat in the centre of St Kilda with everything you need for a short stay. Had a problem with the door lock during our stay but the host contacted a locksmith quickly who fixed it very promptly.

Amazing view, access to all the action in St Kilda. Very tidy clean apartment for short or long stay

Amazing view, Central location to Luna Park and Ackland Street food and shopping, Bars and then 2-minute walk to St Kilda Pier. Walks along the Water and excellent Restaurants and Bars, New Pier and Vibe if area just out of city. A very tidy apartment, warm in winter with Sun in the morning and fantastic afternoon or morning in the Deck or Sunroom area. Excellent Shower, Bed and Mini Bar area.

Advertised incorrectly 3 star at most and price should reflect this.

Upon entering we noticed a large round crack on the sliding door - we were told this was being rectified but takes time, the least they could have done was made this clear before staying and offer a discounted rate due to advertising as a 5 star experiences and giving a 3 star experience. The blinds are very dusty and one set completely broken. Coffee machine didn’t work. When sitting on lounge noticed all the garbage in the crack as pictured. The quilt had a tear in it. Screaming from the roller coaster was in competition with screaming from the street. At $1009 for 3 nights - I do not recommend this apartment.

In the heart of St Kilda, this spacious, airy and cool apartment is one of the best I’ve booked on Booking.com. Fantastic public transport links to the airport too.
