This apartment is absolutely fantastic with large rooms and a wonderful wrap around balcony. The open plan aspect of the kitchen, dining area and living area was great and was so light and airy with the windows around 2 walls overlooking the balcony. The 2 bedrooms are large and spacious with plenty of storage. The bathroom was also spacious and Marcia provided more toilet rolls that we could have used in 6 months, never mind the 3 weeks we were there. She even dropped off more during our stay!!!
We never saw or heard any of the neighbours so it was lovely and quiet other than the trains passing through Yarraville station.
I think I heard the trains through the night on the first 2 nights but after that I didn’t hear them at all, so in reality the sounding of the train horn wasn’t an issue and you certainly shouldn’t let this put you off. In fact the locality of the station is a massive bonus. The trains are regular so if you miss one, another one is along in 10 minutes. We had no car so it suited us.
The bus stop is next to the station and I believe the buses go to Highpoint shopping centre, although I didn’t go there this time.
There is a car parking space under the building which our son used when he visited us but street parking is adequate for short stays, 2 hours and 4 hours. There’s also a large car park on the other side of the station.
Yarraville centre and shops is only a 2 minute walk away with plenty of coffee shops and numerous eating places with a big selection of cuisine on offer. Woolworths and IPA supermarkets are in the centre and Cole’s is only half a mile away.
Marcia is wonderful. Her communication was very prompt and she really is passionate about making sure that anyone who stays has a wonderful time. She left us some very tasty treats for our arrival, including Hotcross Buns which were appreciated. The fridge had milk, butter, water and other useful items and in the cupboards there was herbs and spices along with other ingredients for cooking. So thoughtful. Marcia even left more treats (and toilet roll) in a bag outside our door half way through our stay. 🥰
I’ve stayed in a few Airbnb places and this is by far the best we’ve ever stayed in. Family and friends visited while we were there and they all commented on how fantastic it was. Clean, comfortable, location, communication all top notch. Pity it’s not available for our December visit 😏
If you book this place you won’t be disappointed.
