Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Essendon

There was a delicious Korean restaurant nearby, so it was very nice!

Such a great place to stay! Host was super helpful with local recommendations. Would definitely stay again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely apartment! Comfortable, spacious and located along the beautiful St. Kilda Road and directly across Fawkner Park. Beautiful area for strolls and bike rides and enjoying the amazing autumn sunshine. Owner is very responsive and allowed me to drop off my luggages in the morning. There’s a very recent construction just next to the building so it was abit noisy but other than that, I had a wonderful stay! Would consider staying here again for my future visits.

Felt very safe. Close to the city and trams - had lots of access to everything. Felt fancy and nice. Only slight thing I would note is the bed frame is extremely loud, I was staying by myself so it was fine but every time I rolled over it was comically loud. The dishwasher was also blocked on arrival but truly didn't bother me. I would still absolutely come back!! Thanks for having me

Tidy apartment in a great location with lots of amenities. We enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely loved my stay in Melbourne, the apartment was fantastic, close to everything. Would highly recommend it.

The apartment was extremely clean with good access to all local sights and transport. Gockan was a great communicator and even granted us a late check out at 2pm due to an international flight we had. We greatly appreciated it.

fantastic place to stay and perfect for my needs and wants for an extended stay in Melbourne. close walking distance to Yarra tram/train station, shops and eateries making it a 1 train to central/ marvel stadium/ zoo etc

This was a great place to stay, it’s important to remember that just because you are on the 18th floor doesn’t mean you are in a hotel. You are in an apartment with normal people living their lives, they are not on vacation. This place is really great for people who prefer to walk to get places, everything is close by so getting out to see and do things was really easy. And if we wanted to go farther away, driving is easier as you are just outside where traffic gets really busy from all the activity in the city. Andrew is quick to respond to any questions and has realistic expectations of his guests, next time I come to Melbourne I will definitely be checking to see if this place is available again.

The apartment is well situated with a tram stop into the city just across the road. Very close to the arts precinct and parks. There are a couple of great coffee shops within 5 minutes so easy for breakfast. Woolworths and BWS are a 5 minute walk away and there is a fantastic wine shop downstairs as well. A 10 minute walk takes you to all the restaurants on Southbank. The apartment is spacious and well set out with everything you need for your stay, with great view from the balcony. Definitely recommend the apartment for a stay and would stay again next time we visited from Perth. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable.

This was an ideal location to access the cultural areas of Melbourne. The unit was clean and tidy and had everything that we required. I loved the close access to Woolworths and some cheap Asian restaurants. I would highly recommend this apartment and wouldn’t hesitate to use it again when next in Melbourne.

This place was absolutely perfect, made even better by a host who was incredibly accommodating, responsive, and went out of their way to help. Their hospitality truly enhanced our stay, making it a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!

Andrew & Ros were great! Easy to deal with, flexible nice. The apartment was great for us, with family of 5. Close to the beach, parking onsite, close to the city, pool onsite. Would definitely book this place again!

It was lovely and close to my train station, the pool was enjoyable and I felt safe

Absolutely loved our stay here! After being let down by our first accommodation in Melbourne, the team were extremely helpful and got us sorted for our remaining 5 nights at very short noticed. Responses were extremely quick and informative, and the space was gorgeous! Clean and cosy, I would definitely recommend.

Simon's apartment was great for our stay. The location is very convenient with easy tram access in and out of the CBD within 15 minutes. Will stay again!

If I had to use one word to describe our stay it would be generous: Thank you so much for allowing us to use your lovely house as our base: It's gorgeous, roomy and homely. It's also well placed for getting around Melbourne. Griselda is also the most generous and responsive of hosts with lots of supplies for us when we arrived that were most were most welcome. The house is also very generous with all the space and things that make it feel like home. The house is much bigger than it appears on the photographs and has lots of different living areas internally and externally. We couldn't have been happier during our time here. It really was a home away from home for the weeks we have stayed. Thanks again and lovely to have visited:-))

Great place to stay with loads of space for a large family. Close proximity to shops transport and the beautiful walks along the river. Appreciated the ability to have early check in and later checkout. Lovely bathroom toiletries and kitchen amenities. Beautiful home.

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. Rachel and Young were very responsive and accommodating for our needs. We had a great experience.

A perfect place for our family of 5 to spend 4 nights. Heidi and Tim are A+ hosts whose extra touches are greatly appreciated. Location is superb and the community leaves you wishing you could move here. House was spotless, deck was perfect for dinner. For us, extremely convenient to sandbelt golf courses. We would love to come back and would be delighted to stay here again.

Property very close to shopping centers and restaurants. Convenient location. Nice and thoughtful kitchen set up.

Nicola was a lovely host, very responsive and accomodative to our needs. She provided a very clear list of things that needed to be done and recommendations for this around based on our reason for stay. Allowed us to have felixble check-in and check-out which was very much appreciated. The house was lovely, good for larger groups very spacious but still homey. Kitchen was prestine and outdoor area was enjoyable to the sunshine.

We absolutely loved the place and would come back here again. It has everything you need at the house.

I had a great stay at StJohn’s place! The home was exactly as described, clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed. Check-in was smooth, and communication with the host was fast and friendly. The location was perfect, close to some restaurants and public transport. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
