A really standout Airbnb experience. Notably well kept and cleaned. Really quirky and fun space. Surprisingly extremely quiet, especially considering how close it is to the CBD. South Melbourne is maybe a little quieter in terms of stuff going on than the north, but the trade off is a peaceful, quiet oasis to come back to. And there’s still a bunch of friendly pubs and cafes super close by, plus the CBD and main arts precinct is an easy 30 min walk, or less than 10 mins via regular trams.
Keep in mind access is via a small spiral staircase, so it’s not the right place for anyone with accessibility concerns. The balcony is also not accessible to guests as it looks directly into the host’s house—so the door to it is locked to give everyone privacy. There are three angled skylights you can open for ample ventilation and light, along with a split system air conditioner and nicely quiet ceiling fan.
For me every aspect of the stay exceeded my expectations.
