The best Airbnb in Melbourne! We loved our stay in Shocko. Rodger is a fantastic host - after a 16 hour flight from the States it was great to meet a friendly Aussie like him. Rodger quickly explained all the details of the apartment and answered any question we had. The apartment itself is very well located in Melbourne; only a few steps away from the laneways, the shopping of the CBD, and the fantastic restaurants by Flinders or Chinatown if you're walking the other way. The bed was super comfortable and the apartment itself was very clean. Towels, soap and shampoo are provided and the shower had good water pressure and temperature. The Bose bluetooth speaker has a great sound and the kitchen is well stocked for a quick dinner at home (it even has spices, oil, and plenty of utensils, pots and pans). All the appliances are of a very high quality and give the apartment the feel of a luxury boutique stay. Like other reviews point out, if you are a light sleeper remember to wear your earplugs, but otherwise the apartment isn't too loud from people leaving the bars at night or the garbage trucks picking up recyclables; if you're from a city you're probably used to such noises anyway. Also, if you're exploring the Yarra Valley or Mornington and you end up with a car hire the garage next door (upper level) has overnight parking for $14 when we were there (they close by midnight though and the car needs to be out by 7am, otherwise the rates will start to climb). We researched many Airbnbs in Melbourne before choosing Shocko, and we're very glad we did. It was the perfect property for our stay in Melbourne. Do yourself a favor and book this gem!
