I actually want to say this place is terrible only because my honest review will see this place grow even more in popularity and possibly become too booked out for me to be able to return to easily in the near future. But to pay Luke, the owner, the respect he deserves for decking out and making available such a magnificent little gem I have to be honest and say just how truly SPECTACULAR this place is.
It is my first stay in Melbourne but my hubby has been many times and I was so delighted in the location of this place being so central to everything and having so many shops of different types available so close most hours. The easy access to Flinders station, Crown, Victoria Market, CBD, and so much more was amazing. We rarely needed transport, could easily walk everywhere.
The street itself is a wonderful little buzzing cafe strip with a vast assortment of foods, drinks, and lovely treats like donuts, gelato, and cupcakes. There was also some unique little stores to gander through.
The room is more than perfect, it actually couldn't be better.
My hubby and I both suffer sore backs and a bad bed can ruin our holiday. Both of us slept perfectly in this place, bed is so comfy, and the blockout curtains and solid walls added to the quality of sleep here which is second to none - so dark and quiet.
There is everything you need in the room, Luke has not missed a thing, and the decor is modern, funky, and really welcoming - we felt instantly at home.
A couple of items need a revamp but this is nothing to do with cleanliness or sanitation, the place is definitely very clean.
Luke is a wonderful man and was also very patient with us as we had to sort out suitcase breaking as we were packing to leave which had us quite delayed to exit the premises. He could have easily kicked us out or charged us more but he kindly allowed us some time to sort out a new case and get organised before we left. I appreciate his decency and for this reason I do hope this venture proves lucrative for him and that he achieves all goals he has set out in doing this. I seriously can't rate this place highly enough and would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.
Keep up the great work Luke, and thank you for allowing us to book your beautiful apartment.
