Waterfront 2B Dockland apt with Balcony&Free Carpk
Great space and location for our family. We appreciated the cot and high chair being provided for the baby. Check in was made easy with clear instructions and photos. Apartment was clean and had great views. Shu communicated well and was friendly.

Riverside Suite
We loved our 3 night stay here! it was perfect for our needs. Central location, amazing city and river views and the apartment itself was perfect. Spotlessly clean, super comfortable beds and great layout. Only downside was the train noise. Will absolutely stay again!

Heart of Melbourne CBD
What an absolute awesome place to stay. Everything is really close by. The apartment was very comfortable. We had a wonderful time in Melbourne.

Spacious 3 Bed Apt with Stunning River/City Views
Our stay was just perfect - we loved the spacious apartment with the fabulous views and it is in a perfect location to get around the city by tram - literally minutes from the next tram stop within the free tram zone of the CBD. Fernando was very communicative so the place was easy to find and we also took advantage of the parking - perfect to leave your car behind for the days exploring the city! Definitely recommend staying there!

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!

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.

Cool updated 70s 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
Chamila was such a friendly, protective and gracious host. He was very quick to action any issues. This is a beautiful property, with the high ceilings and lovely sunlight coming in throughout the house. Ideal for those travelling with kids with the many amenities within and right outside the home. Such positive vibes, we had a relaxing time with good sleep. Pretty big place which was handy to invite people over for dinner. Thank you for having us, we will be back.

4Bedroom Millionaires Townhouse | Spacious & Cozy
This is a great place to stay in Melbourne. Close to town (10-15 min drive) whilst also having a lovely promenade to walk during sunset/sunrise. Playground nearby. Apartment is newly furnished. Ali is an incredible host and very responsive. He literally responds within 10 minutes and nothing is ever too much trouble for him. Thank you again

Grand Victoria Beach House
Although we did not meet our host in person, we felt she was always there, responding to our requests quickly and friendly. A great host in all respects.

Family Cityside Beach House, Pool & Roof Terrace
We absolutely loved Rebecca’s place! It is filled with character and has a wonderful outdoor entertaining area, perfect for the whole family. The house has plenty of natural light and has all necessary amenities. We also loved the location as it was just around the corner from many wonderful restaurants, coffee shops and the pier. Would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting the area. Thanks again Rebecca!

Classy, large 2BR apartment, marina view
Lovely spacious contemporary apartment with easy access to CBD via the free tram which was only 2 minutes walk away. There were a few local restaurants within easy walk distance. My husband and I slept in the smaller bedroom as the traffic noise was less there & the bed more comfortable. No noise was heard from other apartments. We slept well there.
