Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Essendon

Lauren’s apartment was perfect for our week+ stay in Melbourne! Tram at your doorstep, and a short walk to the Bridge rd tram which takes you right into the city! The beds were very comfortable, and the shower was great!… Lots of good restaurants nearby, as well as supermarkets…. would definitely stay again! Also a bonus was the underground carpark and plenty of street parking too!

We are a retired couple who spend a lot of time travelling and as we do not always want to be out all day, everyday accommodation is very important to us and as we see ourselves as travellers rather than tourists we love the feeling of "living" somewhere rather than just "staying" and in this respect Sebastians place was hands down one of the best we have stayed in in a city environment. The views were far reaching and spectacular and we were not overlooked in anyway. The apartment was spotlessly clean with good fixtures and fittings and very comfortable. 2 minutes away from Southern Cross Station, the Skybus etc, 5 minutes away from day trip pick up spots and 5 to a big Coles supermarket. We would not hesitate to stay again if we return to Melbourne and recommend to other visitors.

Very clean and modern apartment. Nice location close to Albert Park and St Kilda beach. David is a great host, very responsive and clear instructions

Staying at Christian-Paul and Will’s place was incredible! The images were a perfect depiction of the space and located in the best part of town. The provided amenities were so thoughtful and the hosts nailed everything we could possibly need during our stay. We loved being able to walk to all the great spots in the area and felt like locals. It was a far better option than staying at a hotel in our opinion. Should we find ourselves in Melbourne again, we will definitely be checking back in! Cannot thank you enough, Christian-Paul and Will :)

Julias place was a great little apartment very spacious and the street was great

Claire and Nick are great hosts. The apartment is beautiful, homey, very spacious and peaceful. We especially love the balcony (full of greens). Despite the several warm days in Melbourne, Claire and Nick’s place were cool. Nevertheless, Claire dropped off a fan - this is thoughtful. We didn’t cook / use the kitchen but this place has a fully equipped kitchen. We love the mini library with nice unassuming books. Thank you Claire and Nick for letting us stay in your home.

Fantastic location between Albert Park and Chapel St. Great private space with all the amenities on offer for a weekend away!

Milan was responsive to queries and did his best to communicate and resolve minor issues we faced during our stay. Knowing that we had a toddler with us, he bought a floor bed as well. Very friendly and accommodating. The view is fantastic. Do note that as you are living in the city, you can hear music from nearby shops as well as road traffic. There is also ongoing construction nearby for the new train station.

Absolutely loved our stay at Ramona’s with a large family group on the weekend of our wedding. So easy to get to, beautifully clean and had everything we needed. Beautiful two homes with so much space. We loved our stay and even walked down to our wedding at the Post Office Hotel from the house. Thanks for an amazing stay. Couldn’t recommend more!

Saeed's property was as described. Inside the house, there was ample space to relax and unwind. The house was clean and tidy and the BBQ was prepped and ready for use. The pool area was also clean and easy to access. The internal central heating worked really quickly when the night became cold. The house was set up with a swing, hammock, fooseball table as well as a few other games. Saeed was a helpful and responsive host, willing to accommodate us. I would mention that it is one large house on the property, separating guests from Saeed's family by an internal locked door (so noise could be heard from the other side of the door). The pool can also be seen from the entire house, so if you wanted privacy, this is probably not the accommodation for you.

Excellent house and Jack is an exceptional person. Staying there was a pleasure. I recommend it to everyone !

We had a wonderful stay - host was very responsive, house was clean and well kept great little area! Would definitely stay again!!

The best Airbnb with a great host.Neat and clean place.I would highly recommend others to stay here.

An absolutely beautiful space, that felt like home. It had everything you would need and it's in a great location. We would happily stay here again.

Have just stayed with Sandy and Peter for a month and had a wonderful time. We landed early and tired travelling from the UK and getting an early check-in was really appreciated. Everything we needed was there, and we were soon settled in. For us the location was really good as we were visiting our son in Glen Huntley and with the railway station, and trams only 5 minutes’ walk connections across South Melbourne and into the city were very good. Glen Huntley Road has many restaurants and shops, including a Woolworths and a couple of bottle shops. Sandy and Peter were excellent hosts, very friendly and helpful and any problems were sorted out straightaway. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We loved our stay at Kathleen and Nick's lovely home. The house is very thoughtfully done up and has everything a visiting guest would need. We were really able to unwind after a few days on the road. The location is lovely, and we very able to go for nice walks around the beautiful neighbourhood, as well as easily go to various places in Melbourne. The host recommendations are also great, their cafe and park recommendations were a hit with the family!

Leylas property was fantastic! Great location and the views were amazing. The only issue I had was the car park was a bit technical but leyla gave very clear instructions. Great if you’re going to just leave your car, bit of a hassle if you are going in and out. Overall great property, would recommend!

Such a beautiful welcoming stay that feels like home. It was the perfect location for exploring Melbourne and so close to every major tourist attraction. Ky was so friendly, welcoming, and pro active on chat. She gave us some great recommendations for local attractions. Kitchen was fully stocked and perfect for cooking a meal at home too. P.S. Plant lovers will love this place!

We loved Romaine’s flat - just looking over the Merri creek. It was just a very pleasant place to stay and the balcony was lovely in the mornings. Bed was comfortable - shower was great. Communication was great all the way through though I got things wrong and had to make last minute changes. Would definitely come again. Thanks Romaine. . .

Great location to access tennis , docklands , city , trains Comfortable bed , 2 TV’s & well appointed kitchen . Would definitely return

Great location. Very helpful instructions and quick response as well.

Loved our stay, would definitely recommend. Amazing location

Stayed for the F1 race with a few friends. Great location. Walking distance to the race, plenty of nice restaurants and bars nearby. Very nice rooftop with great view. And friendly host. 👍🏻

Beautiful and sunny top floor apartment. The place was very quiet but in great location near all the shops and bars in st Kilda. Lawrence was very helpful and quick on responses.
