Liz- Penthouse-Style Melbourne Apartment
Thankyou Alix & Taj, we loved your place, unfortunately for us we didn't get to experience it fully as were at a conference from early till late. We do hope to comeback and enjoy again soon. Carolyn, Laura, Patty & Kristina.

Modern Designer Apartment with Panoramic Harbour Views
Wonderful experience. From first communication to the last, Henfry was friendly, courteous and proactive. Directions for parking and accessing the unit were clear and easy. The unit itself was clean, well stocked and comfortable. Lovely views with good wifi. Good heating for a cold few days! Beds were comfortable and the tram (free tram zone) was just outside the front door making the CBD easily accessible. Great place to stay! Highly recommended

St Kilda Beach, Art Deco apartment.
Anne was extremely helpful and friendly. She made us feel right at home especially after a long flight from the UK. She met us at the apartment and showing us round the property and giving us great tips on the surrounding area. Anne was always very responsive during our stay and was a great help in ensuring my son found longer term accommodation for his new job in Melbourne. The apartment was nicely located for trams into the CBD and a 5 minute walk to the beach!!! I cannot thank Anne enough not only allowing us to use her property but for all the advice and help. Would definitely stay again.

Period Cottage in St Kilda
Vintage Melbourne available at a great price! The location is excellent. Within walking distance to all St. Kilda has to offer as well as easy access to public transportation. Parking was always available in front of the house but the option for a private spot is included. Great value!

Stylish Central Terrace with Natural Wood Fire
We absolutely loved our stay! The house was beautiful, very peaceful and quiet while also being close to transport and shops/restaurants. We really enjoyed the fireplace and spa tub. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Naomi was a great host and communicator.

Inner city apt with views + free parking
Tikali was a great host and the place was perfect. Would definitely stay here again when we’re in town

South Yarra with Superb views
We enjoyed our time in South Yarra and Jennis place was great. Close to main train and tram ways. Great having a Woolies in the building was awesome Thanks Jenni, appreciate it

Sunny, Modern Apartment with Cityscape Views
What a view! Alex’s place is in the perfect location - a tram stop outside, Southern Cross at the corner and the whole of the CBD within walking distance. The apartment was well laid out and felt spacious for two couples. Would absolutely stay here again.

Spacious Modern Apartment in the Heart of Fitzroy
Fabulous location surrounded by great cafes, restaurants and an easy walk to Gertrude and Smith Streets. This is not my first stay at Keoma and it won’t be my last. It’s a great spot for a family to hangout while exploring Melbourne, especially if you love walking the streets and soaking up the atmosphere. The accommodation is clean and spacious, hosts are responsive and the heating in each of the rooms meant we stayed warm over a wet and cold weekend. The hosts respond quickly to questions and requests. We will definitely be back.

Cosmo Stays- Designer Apartment Fabulous Location
Amanda's place in Carlton is in a great location, handy to public transport, shops and great eating spots and lots of them! The apartment is lovely. Very comfortable beds and couch in lounge. Light and spacious feeling. Great bathrooms, lots of hot water and very clean. The TV was easy to use and Amanda's instructions always clear and easy to follow. Secure car park was a bonus. We loved out stay . One thing only we managed fine but could have done with another blanket each. There is a wonderful heater , we preferred not to use it at night though. All up a fantastic experience. Thanks Amanda.

Spacious. Art Deco. St Kilda. Two bedroom delight.
Great place to stay. Excellent location (close to beach, tram stop, park and good coffee shop). Well equipped house and kitchen. Very comfortable for our family to stay for the long weekend.

Brunswick 3 br 2 bath house, great location
The stay here was perfect. I stayed with my bridal party the night before my wedding and it had everything we needed. Nancy was also very friendly and responsive which made the booking and checking in process seamless.

The Fitzroy House
Really enjoyed our stay – the house is beautifully styled, in a great neighborhood, and easy to find with accessible parking. It’s a cozy, welcoming space that’s clearly well looked after. Just a heads up: the 2 bedrooms in the main house don’t have AC, so if you're sensitive to temperature, it might be worth considering the season before booking - there is AC in the main living area, but it's at the other end of the house. It was unseasonably warm in Melbourne during our stay, but we got through it alright. Kali was a fantastic host – super responsive and friendly, and since she lives next door, she was always around if we needed anything. Would happily stay again!

Architectural designed 3brm house located near CBD
Eva’s place is in a great location and was a perfect place for our family of 6. We really appreciated the kindling and firewood that was supplied ahead of a wet and cold weekend in Melbourne. The fire is very easy to light and heats the space beautifully. Thank you 😊

Heaven on Erin - Great MCG Location 4 BR Parking
Perfect ! A gals weekend away allowed us to spread out relax and chit chat in a homely comfortable environment….everything was perfect.

Modern 1 BDM app on 31st floor Southbank +parking
Lovely little apartment with everything you need for a great weekend. Walking distance to most Melbourne attractions. 25 metre indoor lap pool and gym made sure we stayed active.

Queen Bed on Level 56

Luxurious Penthouse with Balcony and City Views
A lovely place for our extended family to come together for a weekend. Plenty of room to hang out, with own bedrooms. Great location, and wonderful View

Cool living close to everything (incl wifi / pool)
Great location, tram stop right outside the door & a good cafe downstairs. Plenty of places to eat nearby in Collins Square during the week. Easy walk to Southern Cross station or bridges over to MCEC. Michael was a great host, good communication & flexible with check-in.

Dandaloo Luxury Escape short drive to Yarra Valley
Eric couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful. Their starter kitchen breakfast was perfect and delicious. The house was spotlessly clean, and the bedding extremely comfortable. We’d flown over from Scotland, so comfort was important. I would highly recommend staying here.

Amazing views in Melb's centre
Wow! Location, location, location, and views forever! Everything in Melbourne is right at your doorstep. The views from the apartment are just amazing, and floor to ceiling windows ensure you can take full advantage of the views and the position. There is a supermarket, liquor store, an amazing food court, and shops just downstairs. Trams are just across the street. So convenient. Sam is an amazing host. Nothing was too much trouble, and he responded to our queries almost immediately. I can recommend Sam’s apartment to anyone who visits Melbourne. We’ll definitely be back!

Loggia in Leafy Camberwell, Australia
This was such great experience for my friend who stayed here wjo came.from oversease and as her first experience at Air bnb accomodation. The host, Anne was very prompt, lovely and responsive every single requeat we asked for. The neighbourhood vibe was great. My friend said that she would definitely come back with her family in future. I, myself who reseved the place for my friend was more pleased that I made a right choice for her. I as a neighbour and am familiar with the area, will also absolutely recommend anyone who wants to stay in Melbourne. The heating rack in the bathroom was brilliant in this cold weather. The two cats were also very entertaining. In overall, everything was superb.

Immaculate Flat Embracing Views-Pool,Gym&Parking
Thank you, Natalia, for your wonderful hospitality, flexibility and care to your clients. You're a commendable host and would encourage all people to use your apartment. It was clean. You were responsive and very friendly. You went beyond all challenges amidst us having delayed flights and arriving late at your place. Thank you so much. I trust, we shall come back when we return to Melbourne and will recommend our friends to utilize your services
