Large Designer Apartment w Parking St Kilda West
Wonderful stay! Very clean, comfortable, quiet and a great location. Easy access into St Kilda and tram into city centre. Hayley was very responsive to any questions pre stay and during. Lots of additional unexpected extras left to eat/ drink and use which is always greatly appreciated when travelling. Would throughly recommend for a short or longer stay. Would suggest a few more serving dishes needed. Shower and bath great, just be aware water comes out very, very hot! Thank you Hayley- a perfect Air B&B and have already recommended to friends- just hope you have availability! Margie& Andy

Waterfront 2B Dockland apt with Balcony&Free Carpk
The stay is close to South Cross station. There is a tram station right in front of the place, so it is very convenient to reach all the other place even without car.

5 Min to Crown & NGV | Stylish 2BR | City View
Thank you for having us stay at your place. The location was ideal for our time in Melbourne and very convenient to the arts centre and the city. We loved being able to walk to the National Gallery of Victoria to see an exhibition and into town. It was easy to walk to the tram to St Kilda. Even though we were on a main road, the traffic noise was no issue at all at night which was fantastic. It was much more convenient for us to be in an apartment and to self cater than a hotel. It was also really good to have the second bathroom. Being school holidays and Easter I had a concern about finding something well priced but this option worked out well for us. As our son said it was much better than a hotel room. This apartment is a good base for a family when needing to be close to the city.

Stylish 1-Bed Apartment with Spectacular Views
Cozy place in heart of Docklands. Easy to check-in and check-out.

Seaview St Kilda beach Esplanade flat Renovated
Great unit at the back of nicely maintained and gated complex. Access from the street and car park was easy, everything that could be provided was, and the picture window is a joy to sit at and watch the various moods of Melbourne affect the bay.

Luxury Beach View Escape
Beautiful 2nd floor apartment with lift. So well and generously appointed. Stunning view from every room. Beautiful quality linen/towels. Very good beds. Kitchen has everything you could possibly think of. Public transport so handy. It’s quite expensive for 1 couple but for 2 couples it would be excellent value. We will stay again anyway because it’s so good!!

Beachside Charm with Garden - Walk to Train
Absolutely stunning accommodation. Everything brand new and in pristine condition. Not to mention the amazing location opposite the beach. Rebecca was a brilliant host. If you are looking to experience bayside for a stay then this is the place to be. I’ll be back. Thanks Rebecca.

Boujee Beach Front, St Kilda Apartment
Myself and three friends had a fantastic stay at Katie’s place – it was perfect for our needs. The location is spot on, just a short walk to the beach, great restaurants, and local shops. Katie was incredibly responsive and we really appreciated her flexibility with check-out. Highly recommend – we'd happily stay again!

Contemporary & Elegant 1920’s Period Home
We had a large group that traveled for a competition. Eva's house fit us all comfortably. Such a beautiful house. Fantastic location. Short walk to skybus bus stop, train station and shops and restaurants. Couldn't haved asked for a better location for our needs. Was also pretty close to the DFO (bonus)

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!!

The Parkview Retreat
During our short stay in Dandenong for a basketball tournament, we stayed in this lovely home that was ideally located near shops and adjacent to a local park, perfect for the kids to play. The property was spacious, well-kept, and offered a nice sense of privacy. Our host, Chamila, was so accommodating and attentive, always ready to answer any questions we had, which truly made us feel at home. Overall, our stay in this great location was an enjoyable experience.

LUXE "Bea’s Block" at Middle Park Beach
Beautiful comfortable home in an amazing location. 50m to the beach, right near a tram stop and heaps of cafes and restaurants all in walking distance. The home is gorgeous with every amenity you could think of, coupled with a host Sian that can’t do enough to make sure your stay is perfect. The amount of extras that were supplied was next level. One of the best Airbnb’s we have stayed in, and we’ve stayed in a lot. Highly recommend this property.

Stunning Views, Marvel 5mins Walk & Free Parking
Spotlessly clean springs to mind. We appreciated the provisions in unit for our use. Very comfortable with modern decor. Great views. Proximity to restaurants trams is amazing just a few minutes' walk away. Would recommend this Airbnb to anyone and would choose to stay again if the opportunity arise.

Lavish Condo -seaview, near CROWN, MCEC etc
The apartment is amazing, it’s right in the heart of Melbourne so you can get around by walking but if you’re not a walker then there is multitude tram stops nearby. Also Matt is a wonderful host who was very helpful and responsive. For anyone coming to Melbourne I would recommend staying here

River & City SkyLine 180 View (Sub Penhouse)
We truly enjoyed our family stay here ... it felt like a cosy home away from home! The apartment was clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable trip. From kitchen essentials to laundry facilities, everything was thoughtfully provided, making it so convenient for a travelling family like ours. The panoramic view from the apartment was absolutely stunning~~ A daily "wow" moment for all of us! Watching the skyline change from sunrise to night was one of our favourite parts of the stay and made for some unforgettable memories. Just a small note for future guests: there is only one heater unit located in the living area, and the bedrooms don’t have separate heating. That said, the host provided plenty of extra blankets so we were still warm and cosy throughout the chilly Melbourne nights. It wasn’t a problem for us at all, but worth being aware of. Thank you again for the lovely stay, Ange! ✨️
