We loved every minute of our stay! It was spacious, luxurious, clean, homey, and in a very convenient location. The place looks and feels much grander in person - the pictures do not do it justice.
We felt very safe too because you need the fob key to access both the building and the floor. There’s a tram stop right in front of the building, and also enough street space for Uber/taxi pickups.
The couch is quite roomy - one can sleep very comfortably on it. We enjoyed using Alexa to control music and lights. The kitchen and pantry were very well-equipped. Bathrooms were spacious - we enjoyed the hot tub.
The view from the balcony is beautiful. For those who play, the piano is a nice bonus.
We also enjoyed the (cheeky) book collection - there are also a few games on the shelves, perfect for group hangouts.
We liked how soundproof the apartment was - we couldn’t hear anything from outside the apartment (except a rare loud siren from the street below). The two bedrooms are far away enough from each other so that any sound behind closed doors can’t be detected from the other room.
We especially liked the smaller room, where there’s a walk-in closet in between the bedroom and ensuite, with doors separating each area - so great to have this added privacy especially when sharing the space with others.
Ample storage space made living, packing, and unpacking a breeze.
Dimitrios is a very professional and responsive host. My interactions with him have been fun, positive, and effortless. He was honest and upfront about the delay in checking in, but we didn’t mind because we were able to still drop off our bags early, and we appreciate that he wanted to take extra time to thoroughly clean the place up first. He gave very helpful instructions on transport to the apartment, and patiently addressed all of my queries within minutes (or less) each time.
He was very accommodating and flexible with our check-out time too.
I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to enjoy Melbourne to the fullest, especially groups. Thank you Dimitrios! I hope I can book this place again if I revisit Melbourne with friends!
