Little Ox is situated in a great part of Melbourne. The accessibility to trams, great bars, restaurants, supermarkets (Aldi just across the road) and parks is fantastic.
The apartment is very compact (less spacious than indicated by the photos on the listing) not helped by the large scale furniture in the living area that impacts on circulation space around the kitchen.
Having said that, we did make this work with our 2 and 4 year old children as we were out most days so we’re just after somewhere to sleep/rest with a kitchen and laundry facilities. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you could possibly need to whip up basic meals.
The apartment was also very quiet. We weren’t able to hear any of the neighbouring construction noise or other residents, just the occasional faint “ding” of a tram which we quite liked.
The hosts were great with providing detailed information regarding check-in. They were also responsive when we contacted then on our arrival when we discovered the apartment had not been cleaned since the previous guest had checked out.
They arranged prompt cleaning of the apartment however it did mean we were unable to enter until 5:30pm, which after a full day of travel with 2 young children who were very tired was rather frustrating.
Overall a great place to stay for couples or small families if you like being amongst the inner-city action.
