I was delighted to have been the first airbnb guest to stay at the Bakehouse. I had a wonderful time there - staying for a week - and I couldn’t have asked for a better host or a better location in Melbourne.

Felicity was incredibly accommodating. When I arrived late – at 1 o’clock in the morning - because of a delayed flight, Felicity was up to welcome me and give me the keys to the apartment. She readily shared recommendations for places to eat and things to do in the neighbourhood and beyond, and it was clear she had put a lot of thought into the flat. There were toiletries in the bathroom and eggs, jam, milk, tea and coffee on hand for breakfast. There were also fresh towels, clean bed linen and even a heater (it’s winter in Australia right now) for guests to use.

The Bakehouse is a lovely, stylish space as you can tell from the photos. Large, comfy living area. A huge, fully-equipped kitchen and even a private patio, though it was a bit too cold in July to sit outside. I had gone to Melbourne for work and the flat was such a nice place to retreat to in the evenings.

The Bakehouse itself is in a prime location in the hipster/trendy part of town – with great restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, beauty salons, yoga studios, spas and bars on its doorstep – and a good tramline into the central business district. Highly recommended.
