Beautifully stylish space, well-equipped for long-term stays. Great location at the top of the CBD with easy access to Elizabeth St and Swanston St and the tram lines. Grocery shops within walking distance (with an Aldi directly across the street!) and only a short walk from both Melbourne Central and the QV. Really lovely space, would have been great for entertaining and guests (but alas, lockdown prevailed!)
Smaller than it looks in the pictures! Not uncomfortably small—it's actually very cozy and just the right size—but not as wide or as large as pictured. Kitchen is a bit cramped, definitely can't have more than one person at the stove at a time. Well-stocked for a longer stay though. Several pots and pans, utensils, trivets, etc. Will still need to pick up a good handful of items if you're going to be staying for more than a week.
Other guests have noted that there are a few doors/closets signed with "Private"/"Do Not Enter" and have said it makes them feel unwelcome? It's honestly not that big of a deal. As I see it, the hosts need to have some space to store cleaning supplies/items to keep out of sight of the guests. Would it be nice to have the extra storage space? Sure. Does it ruin the stay? Not at all. There are also supplies available to the guest to help keep the space clean: a vacuum, a mop and wipes, a bucket, some spray...it's pretty well done.
Overall, quite lovely! Hosts are pleasant and building manager is friendly. Pretty space and well-decorated. Very convenient location in the CBD. Unfortunate that there are some big construction projects on nearby which can be quite loud. But really great otherwise.
