Beautifully and intelligently laid out, this apartment mixes a homely feel with convenience. Plants and cute succulents dot around the corners, the bed sits low with a direct but private view of the city line, the bathroom is inviting, extremely clean, and modern; it is a place you can truly unwind and relax.
The decking is an absolute treasure with the sun spending most of its time directly above. When I wasn’t at the desk provided inside, I worked and read on the chairs and beanbags provided here and managed to get a lot done (there is even outside power on the deck to charge the laptop). There is also a large mesh cover to allow fresh air straight through the enormous French doors without the worry of bugs. The sun shines through in the morning creating a beautiful warm glow in the apartment as you make your espresso coffee in the machine provided.
Check-in was seamless and straight forward. Kim communicated every hour on when the apartment would be ready for me. This was a recurring trait where the hosts checked in with me during my stay (clearly showcasing why they are ‘super-hosts’). It was super secure and safe as well.
Port Melbourne is a wonderful spot. A great high street with bars, cafes, supermarkets and pharmacies provides everything you need. It’s a 10 minute walk to the beach, or an hour alongside the ocean to St Kilda (which I did daily).
I highly recommend booking here, I will be back!
