“Very family friendly, great location”
This accomodation was in a perfect location. Extremely close to the train and very close to tram stops. It was close to Greville Street and walking distance to Chapel Street, Coles and Woolworths and the Prahran Markets. The host could not have been more accomodating for us and was extremely responsive to messages. The ground floor location was perfect for travelling with our baby and a cot/change station was provided. The apartment complex was quiet. We stayed here two couples and a baby and had heaps of space. We would stay here again.

The house was stunning and very comfortable. The host was warm and welcoming. Collecting the keys was easy. The location was perfect, close enough to public transport to explore the city. and in the heart of a vibrant neighbourhood with plenty of cafe's, bars and shops within walking distance.

“100% will stay here again.”
We had a fabulous day in this wonderfully equipped, comfortable, conveniently located apartment in Prahran. I love that it was warm and well insulated from the cold August Melbourne weather. We did not need a car as it has everything you need within a short stroll , as well as easy access to both train and tram. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped and we were able to enjoyably cook at home one night while walking to local restaurants the others. Comfy beds. Loved it.

It was home away from home. Had everything we could possibly ask for and more. It was amazing how close the location is to the train station, saved us so much transportation money.
