Lovely house, quiet neighbourhood

Enjoyed our stay here . Chris was very thoughtful and left great provisions. It’s a proper home and has nice back garden. The wet room was super and the house was an interesting property. South Melbourne market only minutes away on foot and station nearby. Close to Albert Park and it’s great cafes and bars.

SUITED ME JUST FINE, ONCE I GOT USED TO EVERYTHING

I would stay again as it’s perfect for me and my pooch. Very safe for him as no stairs and small yard, and walking around area felt safe. Home and yard ‘messy’ - could do with a good tidy up, both inside and out. I would liked to have milk available - even a selection of UHT in cupboard. I would have liked some local information. Also, I suggest putting another key in lock box in timber front door, as it closed on me unexpectedly.

Great Location

Absolutely Great! The location was perfect to get to the South Melbourne Market, 3 different rail lines to the CBD, dining or just Happy Hour. Little more than a mile (less than 2K) to the beach. Used the BBQ 4 times during our 2 week stay and dined in the back patio. Very quiet neighborhood in the evenings in that schools are directly across the street. Parking was not an issue in that we didn't use our car over several days. Chris was great about showing us the amenities of the unit. The neighbors were very friendly and some we got to know very well. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to prepare meals. This location is perfect for a visitor that must have a vehicle or the visitor that does not have a vehicle because of transportation available. Grocery stores are near the S Melbourne Market if they don't have the provisions that you are looking for. My total recommendation.

Fabulous spot for a quick sneak away

This spot was awesome. 3 stops on the tram to the hassle and bale of town for whatever entertainment you’re chasing and in a quiet leafy part of Melbourne oozing history! This is a great spot to escape to and walking distance to so many restaurants, pubs, cafes and of course the water. The place itself is very well set up with a stunning little courtyard, all the amenities you could need and very roomy bathrooms (fabulous shower - hot and great pressure). The table would be cosy for dining with more than 4 but is certainly comfortable for the beds available. Highly recommend.
