“Fantastic Stay”
The Apartment was well equipped, the beds comfortable and everything was clean. Adrian was an excellent host, quick to respond to queries and happy to advise on restaurants. There was a convenience store across the road and others close by. We were in Melbourne for the Australian Open and access to the tram was close by.

“A very pleasant stay”
The apartment was in a great location within easy walking distance to the restaurants and cafes and pubs on the riverside and also for walking to the tram stops. The apartment was spacious and well appointed and very clean. Adrian, the host left out a bowl of chocolates which were well received on our arrival. Adrian was very helpful and easy to contact and offered assistance when required. All in all a very pleasant stay in the apartment and would have no hesitation in recommending it to others. 5 stars

Actually exceeded our expectations! I don't normally leave reviews but think this place absolutely deserves one. The host was very accommodating - thanks, Adrian! And the place looks so so much better than in the photos. Everything we would need was well provided as well! Loved our stay!
