My girlfriend and I were backpacking throughout Australia and needed something affordable in Melbourne for 4 nights. We stumbled upon this property and only had high expectations after the pictures and it exceeded our expectations upon arrival. We arrived late in Melbourne around 10:30pm and taxied from the airport to the property which was around $75 which was expensive but that’s how the pricing worked during the late evening. There are other ways to have gotten there for a fraction of the cost but when you are tired and just want a bed you do what is quickest. Normally, Stephanie would arranged for the security desk to provide the keys to the guest, however, since we would not get in until after 10pm the security desk was closed and Stephanie happily agreed to wait for us at the desk and provided the keys for the late check in. Just the first of many amazing gestures during our stay!
When we got up to the unit we were greeted by a cute chalkboard welcoming us and there was a package with house rules, buss passes that would be reloaded by the guest for use and some fun suggestions of activities to do around the city.
The unit was extremely clean and well kept! With a very comfortable bed, sofa, tv and cute unit patio! My girlfriend and I easily cooked dinner one evening with all the kitchen equipment after visiting a close grocery store down the street.
Additionally, there was a beautiful communal hot hub, bbq and patio on the roof of the condo that we thoroughly enjoyed! Great views. Just a quick note that the roof top is rented out from time to time so if you are planning to use it just check wth security the day before to ensure it is not booked as you won’t able to access it.
The property is about an hour walk to the downtown area but there is public transit that you can easily use! I suggest walking as there are so many little brunch and dinner places along the way! Additionally, the property is right across the street from a mall with everything you may need.
I highly recommend this property if you are looking for something clean and tidy, that makes you feel at home, close to restaurants for foodies and something that will make you feel relaxed!
