Waterfront 2B Dockland apt with Balcony&Free Carpk
Very convenient location, clean and tidy apartment that matches exactly the photos are! Will definitely come back to stay again next time in Melbourne!

Riverside Suite
Wonderful stay at Teah and Matt's place! Beautiful apartment with amazing views! Close to all the sights, restaurants and trams to explore the city. The trains can be noisy but we were tired so fell into background for sleeping. Thanks again for a lovely stay!

Docklands Harbour Views w/ Parking, Pool, Gym, Wif
Very tidy unit with good bedding. Nice outlook and very close to transport.

Spacious 3 Bed Apt with Stunning River/City Views
The place is just same as the photos and descriptions! Cozy living, stunning view, many restaurants surrounded and most importantly, super nice location! Would definitely recommend!

Spacious bayside unit close to the Beach & Bay St
Port Melbourne is a great area with lots to do and only a tram away from the city. Sakshee's place is strategically located near the beach which makes all the areas accessible. The place is clean and nice, communication is very good and very accommodating. The unit is a bit complex to get to with lots of doors to go through but Sakshee makes it easy with clear instructions. The unit is very private, cozy and quiet. Overall, worth every penny, I would go back there again when I go back to port Melbourne.

Riverside Apartment with Balcony
Staying at Sandy’s Airbnb was a fantastic experience! She was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The place was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, convenient and close to everything. I truly appreciated the thoughtful touches and the relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great stay!

Can confidently say that i will be a returning guest , without even thinking twice. HIGHLY recommended A+++++ 👌😁

Modern 1 Bedroom Apartment in Docklands
Mehria and Shahrooz's place was really clean, spacious and comfortable. Their unit has everything for cook. I enjoyed cooking like I was living in Melbourne reality. Tram station has 3 nearby, also you can go to Southern Cross station only 10 minutes on foot. So it was really convenient to go anywhere. They are really kind and friendly. I enjoyed my stay for a month. I highly recommend to stay this great place. Thanks, Mehria and Shahrooz.

Contemporary & Elegant 1920’s Period Home
I booked this beautiful home for 2 nights. I chose it as a place to get ready with my bridal party and a place for my husband and I to come to after our Wedding Day. The house is equipped with everything you need from glad wrap to sugar, from an iron to needles and thread - it was perfect. The house emits a calm, vintage and open ambience. With dark wooden beams, stain glass windows and an open back yard - the space is so an art piece in its entirety. We highly recommend this place for you to book!

Spacious large family house and garden
We loved this house!!! Lauren has done a beautiful job of furnishing and decorating this old 70s house. From the front, the street appeal isn't great but that doesn't matter at all once you enter. It's VERY spacious, stylish, comfortable and homely. The beds were comfy, the kitchen well equipped, Lauren even provides multiple towels for each guest which is so lovely when having a longer stay! It's the small, thoughtful touches like this that can make a huge difference.. There are books and games for both kids and adults alike. Lauren is so helpful and friendly, and was always quick to respond. Despite being an older house, we can't fault our stay, we absolutely loved it and would happily return. Thank you so much Lauren!!

1891 Victorian house, new furnishing redecoration

Family Cityside Beach House, Pool & Roof Terrace
Thanks to lovely Rebecca for a wonderful stay. Our family of four spent three great weeks here and the location and house itself was unbeatable. So much thought was placed into each room; from cutlery and toys for the kids to ample towels as well as beach towels! Kitchen is extremely well equipped and there was even a brand new BBQ. We had one tiny concern that Rebecca immediately assisted us with and for that, we appreciated her prompt help. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Simon is an excellent host. His communication is exemplary & he did everything he could to help us settle in including arrangements for early access to our carpark. Simon’s place is exactly as presented & he has provided everything possible to make you feel at home & have everything you need.

This place is in a fantastic location. It's close to coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, and the free tram. The main bathroom doesn't include a toilet so only one toilet. But the main bath has lots of storage and Great shower pressure!!! The hosts were very responsive with all our questions! I would definitely recommend!
