Nice location in heart of Fitzroy and Collingwood. Unfortunately it was not a comfortable stay for my family. We felt that the images (while incredibly seductive and beautiful) are very misleading. Curated and nicely arranged tchotchkes don’t make a great Airbnb.
The unit is essentially two separate bedrooms on the second floor (after you ascend two very steep and cramped staircases) of a furniture store. The kitchen and patio area are shared spaces with store staff and other guests, we we frequently saw the owner and one other instance shop guests there. There is no proper
living room, rather a small sitting area in one of the bedrooms.
In the shared kitchen, there are price tags on everything. We found it very strange and tacky to be making tea and seeing a $100 sticker on nearly every surface... I would lift a cutting board not sure if it was functional or just decor. did not feel charming, rather....
tacky.
We are traveling with our 2 year old son and it was not a very comfortable place for him to be so I would not recommend for families with very small kids. We’ve stayed at airbnb’s dozens and dozens of times across the world, and over 10 places with our son in 4 different countries, and this was a disappointing stay mostly bc the listing photos did not accurately reflect what you’re getting.
