Cozy little flat in the heart of downtown Melbourne

We were very impressed with the cleanliness and amenities of this cozy flat in downtown Melbourne. We thoroughly enjoyed the location, visiting local businesses and the waterfront. The flat is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay from toiletries and fresh towels to coffee and a well equipped kitchen. The bed was very comfortable. The outdoor seating is a nice touch. Ashley is wonderful to work with and quickly responds to inquiries. If you enjoy historic homes and a walking community, this home will be a perfect fit for you.

Quaint hideaway in old Melbourne

That says it all. This is a great place for 2 people and has everything needed to make you comfortable. I'm short so I had to be careful getting in and out of the claw footed tub, but that's my problem, and I managed, so anyone can. Plus there is plenty of hot water with good water pressure for a nice shower. Old town is just around the corner and we found plenty of fantastic places to eat.

Super Cute and Clean!

I was extremely impressed with the tropical escape property in downtown Melbourne. The apartment had everything you need to relax. I came to Melbourne for an extended stay of over thirty days and was beyond grateful that I found these accommodations. The place was extremely clean, the bed was very comfortable and they even had a washer and dryer. The apartment was walking distance to various bars, shops and night life, it was a short drive from the beach. I would recommend this place to you if your looking for a quite place to call home.

Super cute and very relaxing!

We absolutely loved our 2 night stay. This rental had everything we needed. One thing I usually dread about traveling is missing my own bed, but not with this unit. The bed was super comfortable. As was all the furnishings. The town was very low key with excellent restaurants and shopping. We left feeling rejuvenated and would definitely return in the future.
