This was our first experience with Airbnb and we have quickly transformed from skeptics to believers based on how smoothly it all went. Mia's apartment is the perfect base to explore Melbourne and proves the old real estate mantra of "location location location" to be true - close to public transport, cafes, restaurants, parks etc. the apartment was all we could have hoped for.

Mia is a friendly and unobtrusive host - she met us at the apartment and gave us a quick tour even though we arrived very late; from that point onward she trusted us with her home (and was easily contactable via the app).

The apartment itself is as beautiful and clean as it looks in the photos. The only negative was the construction noise from the adjacent development (and obviously beyond Mia's control), but even that was a minor inconvenience, rather than a deal breaker, especially since we didn't mind getting up early!
