Tzung and Melinda’s apartment was our first ever AirBnb stay and we couldn’t be happier. My husband and I stayed 28 days at their charming home. Tzung and Melinda were very responsive from our first inquiry to the end of our stay. They were always courteous in their responses, generous in sharing their tips about Melbourne, and would check on us on how we are doing or if we needed anything. Throughout our stay, they were very hospitable and patient with our questions about Melbourne culture and practices. Once our booking was confirmed, they sent a helpful email about information useful for our stay like transportation options and cost, advice on which restaurants and cafes are a must-try in the area, groceries, gyms, hospitals and contact numbers, etc — so even before your trip, you’re already prepped. Tzung and Melinda are considerate when it comes to guests’ time — Our flight arrived early on the 1st day and they allowed us a much earlier check-in time. Then on our last day, they offered to have us check-out later as they were not expecting guests the next day. Our wonderful hosts provided us with breakfast on our first day. After a few days, they offer to bring fresh towels. When you stay in their apartment, you will see that their creativity and thoughtfulness are reflected in the details of the space. It is evident that they put effort in making sure that they provided everything we would need and that guests would be very comfortable. THE APARTMENT: The ad says “Light filled riverside art deco”. The reality is so much better! It is literally light filled and guests have a glorious view of the Yarra river from the windows and balcony. The inside of the apartment is gorgeous and when you open their curtains and balcony, the outside of the apartment is a wonderful scene. The apartment is equipped with everything you will need - guest info pack which has useful information about the apartment and the city, guest book with written notes from previous guests, comfortable bed and cozy sheets, air conditioner , heater, body wash, shampoo and conditioner, hair dryer, TV with chrome cast, DVD, radio, space for clothes & hangers, dishwasher, Nespresso machine with capsules, milk frother, gas stove top, microwave with griller, bar fridge, cookware, plates, utensils, glasses & cups, comfortable couch, communal laundry area, printer/scanner, etc. They even provided 2 bicycles that you can use to explore the city. We saw that they also left Myki cards for those who want to use the public transpo (train, tram and bus). They also provided a parking pass for those with cars. The location of the apartment is convenient. Right across the river, very near bus stop going to the city, short walk to the trams and train station, near excellent cafes, restaurants and groceries. Overall, it was a fantastic stay!! Would definitely recommend to friends and relatives visiting Melbourne. :)
