Catch up in Melbourne
The house was exactly as listed and perfect fir our 3 week stay in the city catching up with old friends. We were able to have friends over as the house is well equipped. It’s also a great location for walking out to shops and restaurants as well as the trams to all parts of the city. So definitely recommend it and would hope to stay again.

Excellent
Perfect for us wanting to be near the cbd and not far from where our family live. So many choices for eating out drinking coffee browsing a book shop! Trans and buses on the doorstep. Just a shame the weather was so wet over Christmas and new year! Our property manager couldn’t have been more helpful meeting us at the start and very efficient folders in the house of everything you need to know whilst staying there. A lovely home - thank you!

Fabulous stay in the heart of Carlton
We had the absolute best time at this gorgeous place in the heart of Carlton. The house itself is stunning, spacious and so beautifully designed. The bedrooms were large and accommodating and the kitchen is filled with all the kitchen equipment you could possibly need and more. Everything was clean and the host was so personable and went above and beyond to ensure a lovely stay. Thank you!
