Our stay at Ikigai's place was a highlight of our visit to Melbourne. It has a welcoming vibe that made it an instant hit with our family.
The apartment is very well situated just 1/2 a block from Queen Victoria Market and a tram stop. It's at the edge of the CBD area making it a great base to explore the city. There are many dining options and supermarkets in the immediate area and the nearby Swanston Street.
We found it bright, spacious and tastefully furnished. The floor to ceiling windows provide a beautiful view of the city. The kitchen was well-equipped and very thoughtful amenities and features were included that made our stay perfectly comfortable. The wardrobes were large enough for us to fully unpack and also stow all our luggage. There was even a large shoe rack to keep everyone's shoes out of sight! The apartment was ideal for our family of 6 as both the living room and dining room were generous enough for us to sit together. Our kids loved the deep bathtub, and we all appreciated the comfortable beds with extra pillows.
We contacted Ikigai during several points in our stay and he was very helpful and responsive. We'd definitely choose to stay at this place again.
