Such an interesting space in a peaceful neighbourhood, and so close to the CBD - easily walkable. Very comfortable bed. We didn't use the shared spaces in the house very much as there was so much to do in the city, but it would be great to use the deck in summer. The guidebook was really helpful and Paul welcomed us and made sure we had all our questions answered.

Amazing place, great location in the heart of collingwood / fitzroy, surrounded by great coffee shops and restaurants. Paul was very kind with some great recommendations of places to visit. Ipad in the room, private door to enter / exit. Great stay and perfect to explore melbourne.

Hard to find fault with the Old Distillery. Paul & Mercedes are lovely making you feel welcome but never intruding. The bedroom is comfy and quiet with back lane access so you can feel like you're really staying in your own place. The area is hipsterish and very funky with heaps of urban walks and a surprising Yarra River park just 10 minutes away. Great Indian on the corner of Vixctoria Parade and Wellington St too, Peter

Paul & Mercedes are really nice and helpful.Paul is willing to introduce the great Melbourne to us.After knowing we are landscape students,Paul said he can drive us to the Botanic Garden which is so far away from (URL HIDDEN) so kind of him!I love Melbourne and I love the house.Next time when I come to Melbourne I will definitely choose this house again.

They should hand out medals! Mercedes & Paul sure deserve one. We felt welcomed from the first moment. What a great place to stay! Outstanding! The room(s) fabulous, the setting gorgeous, the interior decoration amazing, the library a delight. And delightful it was all around, Mercedes & Paul are wonderful hosts. We had very interesting talks, we learned quite something and saw Melbourne in a new light. The neighbourhood is very lively and interesting. We had such a great and good time. Thanks a million.

Staying here was a great experience and I would actively recommend it to anybody wishing to visit Melbourne. It's a great location. Paul and Mercedes were excellent hosts, providing helpful tips and places to see during my three day holiday. The room and facilities were perfect. Thanks for a great stay!

My mother and I recently stayed with Paul and Mercedes in November 2015. We had a fantastic time. The place was exactly as advertised and they were very welcoming. The loft itself is very nice. The location is very central. Its a nice walk to the CBD but we often preferred staying in the local neighborhood along Gertrude Street. The local advice on places to go and how to get there we got from Paul was invariable.

A great place to stay! They explained the best places to go locally and had a bunch of city guides available. The room is very quiet and the bed was comfortable. They supplied tea, coffee, bread and cereal for breakfast.

We absolutely loved our stay at Naomi's. The place is clean as can be and you'll find everything you will need to keep you comfortable. I asked Naomi a zillion questions (where to go, what to do) and she helped us out brilliantly. Sad to leave and so happy to have this memory of a wonderful long weekend in the coolest area of Melbourne.

Naomi was a great host and the apartment was beautiful, clean and exactly how it looks in the photos. The location is great if you like to stroll to great food and pubs/bars. Unfortunately the week we were there the trams were not running but we were walking distance to the Rod Laver Arena for the tennis so we had no issues getting around. Unfortunately the trams weren't running this week but the train station is across the road and there was some noise from construction and neighbours, neither of which is Naomi's fault. overall we had a great stay and we'll be back!

Great modern apartment. Very clean. Very central. Walking distance to Gertrude & Smith Streets. Provides secure parking. Comfortable bed & clean bathroom. On Hoddle Street but you wouldn't even know as within complex and has central green courtyard. Great communication with Naomi. Enjoyed our stay.

Naomi's apartment was absolutely fantastic The rooms were light and bright and the balcony a lovely extra room. We were warm and comfortable and enjoyed coming home each evening. Naomi had thoughtfully provided a bottle of wine, great coffee and maps and tram information etc. The apartment is very central and we were able to park the car under the building. It was a perfect stay for us and we would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment to our friends. Thank you Naomi for all you have done to make the apartment so attractive and easy to live in.

Thank you Naomi, we really enjoyed our first stay with Airbnb. Your apartment was fabulous, very comfortable and conveniently located. We found your property to be as you described and true to the photos.

Naomi's apartment is fab! I organised it for a dear friend who was attending my mother's birthday in Melbourne. It was a great location and had everything you could possibly need. The interior is wonderful and spacious and it's clear Naomi has a great eye for design and detail. It was really easy to organise access details with Naomi she provided everything we needed to know in the communication before the trip. Many thanks!!

It could not have been better for me to stay in Naomi's 'humble' Industrial 'abode'. Space, location and comfort are incredible, just like Naomi's sympathy. A 5 star place to stay in Melbourne.

We had a great stay in Naomi's flat, and found the furnishings to be very similar to our personal aesthetic, so we loved that. It's sparse enough with more than enough for your needs (coffee, cookware, toiletries, etc.), and very tastefully done. That aside, it was central to many restaurants and grocery stores. We either took the tram (a half a block away) or simply walked. An overall great stay, and we would definitely recommend this place. Any question or need we had was quickly answered by Naomi, and she could not have been kinder.

Im already missing you guys! Craig, Mark and little Jett are adorable. It was my first time using airbnb and it was a great experience. I loved the place, my room was clean, comfortable and very nicely decorated. Thanks again Craig for your amazing curry and ice cream :) Definitely I recommend 100% this place. Remember now you have a friend in Noosa whenever you would like to come.

Craig and Mark made me feel very welcome in Kew Sanctuary. It was their generosity, the sincere effort to make conversation and the willingness to share aspects of their life that has made this a fantastic airbnb experience for me. While there are plenty of great restaurants in the area, you should NOT miss Craig's home-cooked dinners. In all, it was a quiet and wonderful little place that was near the city yet nestled amidst nature. Yarra Bend Park is nice for a daytime stroll. The busses near their place make it super easy to get into the city. If you're feeling adventurous, a one-hour walk easily gets you into the CBD as well. I will definitely miss being at Kew Sanctuary, Mark and Craig's hospitality, and Jetty, their adorable terrier.

Ich kann meiner ersten Bewertung nicht mehr viel hinzufuegen, ausser dass ich den beiden sehr dankbar bin fuer die schoene Zeit und fuer alles was sie fuer mich getan haben! Siehe Bewertung vom 21.03. bis 23.03.15

Mark und Craig haben sich direkt mit mir in Verbindung gesetzt und mich am 1. Tag nach meiner Ankunft am Flughafen abgeholt und mir die ganze Umgebung gezeigt. Da ich alleine als Frau unterwegs war, habe ich mich sofort zu Hause gefuehlt und als waere ich bei Freunden. Ich kann es gerade als alleinreisende Frau nur waermstens empfehlen. Craig und Mark tuen Alles damit man sich wie zu Hause fuehlt.. ob es das super leckere Essen, die tollen Gespraeche oder die alltaeglichen Tips sind. Dazu kommt, dass das Zimmer sehr gemuetlich und komfortabel ist und vor allen Dingen sehr guenstig fuer die moderne und saubere Einrichtung. Ich habe Sie in mein Herz geschlossen und es war eine fabelhafte Zeit mit Ihnen, die ich nie vergessen werde... !! It is a comfortable, clean and welcome Environment like staying with friends. It's amazing value for money. Thank you Craig and Mark for the wonderful experience and the wonderful time with you becoming new friends in Australia.

For anyone considering an AirBnB experience close to the city, a stones throw from hip and funky suburbs and most of all a welcome like no other - you can't go past Mark & Craig's fabulous hospitality. Fantastic communication. A real credit to you both.

シティからバスで20分ほど、とても静かで治安が良いと言われるKewに住んでいるクレイグとマークはとても親切で暖かいふたりでした。ペットのわんちゃんもとても人懐こくて可愛いです。急な予約でたった1日の滞在だったにも関わらず、バタバタした中でも友人との待ち合わせ場所や電車の最寄り駅まで送ってくれたり、朝ごはんやティーを用意してくださったり、とても優しく暖かく接してくれました。家も、お部屋も清潔ですごく素敵です。二人とも日本が大好きでもっと沢山の日本人のゲストのステイを楽しみにしていたので、メルボルンでAirbnbを使う機会があったらぜひ訪れてみてください☺︎ It's a really nice staying with Craig and Mark and I'd like to recommend to stay with them when you visit in Melbourne. I just requested them in the morning of that day, but they welcomed and treated me warmly even though my stay was just one night. Hope I'll come back again, stay longer and try Craig's meal next time. xD Thank you, Arigato & Khob khun kha. :)

The place is lovely, clean and very convenient. The surrounding is quiet, peaceful and beautiful. I love the area so much that I can see myself living there permanently. Craig & Mark are extremely pleasant to stay with. They will make your stay an enjoyable and memorable one for sure.

Si vous devez séjourner à Melbourne je ne peux que vous conseiller de choisir le logement de Craig & mark c est de loin le meilleur airbnb que j ai eu connu. Un accueil formidable jusqu au moindre détail ils prennent plaisir à proposer de manger ensemble à se rendre à endroit peu connus des touristes pour profiter pleinement du sejour. A vrai dire en 3 jours je les considère comme des amis ét j espere les revoir. Concernant le lieu il est superbe, irréprochable ét rien a dire sur la propreté. Un bus a 50 m permet de se rendre à la city en passant par Fitzroy un quartier animé et incontournable pour ceux qui apprécient le street art . Sur les 2 semaines et demie passées en Australie c est de tres tres loin mon coup de cœur à tel point que je voulais plus partir Voila choisissez sans hesiter vraiment vous ne serez pas déçus c est certain !!

Peter, Helen and Walter are amazing people!! They are absolutely friendly and nice. I'm really glad to be able to stay here, and happen to make great friends! This is THE place if you want to experience feels-like-home-although-I-travel. The room looks just like the photos that they posted. The shed is not too big, but it's really cozy and warm enough. (It was winter when I went there.) The whole house is actually very cozy and since the whole family treats you so well, you will feel cozier and warmer physically and emotionally. The location is really great too. It's really close to the city,(takes approximately 10-20 mins by trams) but then the other neighborhood areas are also very cool and worth exploring. They have lots of great arty cafes too. Since I didn't stay there longer, I sort of missed some of them.. :( (But then it gives me another reason to stay there again!) To sum up, just stay and feel love here. You will never feel aliened. ;)

Peter and Helen are tremendously lovely and accommodating. The room itself is very small but cozy and clean, the bed is comfortable, and the space heater is very sufficient.

I was in Melbourne for 4 days to watch my son compete at the HiSense Arena. Peter and Helen are lovely people and perfect hosts - they were extremely helpful in every way (picking me up from the tram, supplying me with a map, providing delicious meals etc). The cosy shed is exactly that - cosy, with a good bed. Richmond is a beautiful part of Melbourne and I enjoyed exploring it when not at the Arena. All in all, I couldn't have wished for a better place to stay. Hope to be back for next year's championships!

Peter was an extraordinary host with a perfect home for a lone traveler. The shed out back is the perfect size to crash and recharge on trips out to the city, and is close enough to experience Melbourne's public transit system (trams and bike shares alike). There is a back gate for stealthy entrance/exit to the shed if you prefer to keep a more solitary stay. Peter is generous with food, drink, and conversation for his visitors as well as advice and stories on the city. A well traveled scholar, it is always interesting to hear what he has to say. I wish I could have met his wife Helen as I am sure she is equally as interesting. His medium sized poodle Buzz is extremely well trained and will cuddle right up with you if you'd like, a definite lover of belly scratches. I would absolutely stay again on my next trip to Melbourne.

Wonderful conversations and great listeners

I missing Melbourne and Richmond. It was a great place to stay. Peter and his family was very nice. At the last day I had to go to the southern train station, it has rain a lot and Peter drove me to the train station in the early morning. Thank you Peter. Maybe I will come back.

Thanks to the property bubble, there is no shortage of generic, air-conditioned holes in the sky to be found in Australian cities. But if you want to connect with the 'real' Melbourne, a stay in Helen and Peter's delightful inner-city home may be what you're looking for. Helen is a ball of welcoming energy ready to deploy a bicycle, an umbrella or a radiant smile should you require them. Peter, an accomplished poet, is diffident about his literary achievements but generous in conversation - if you love books and writing, you are certain to leave with a list of new novelists and poets to discover. Helen and Peter are respectful, well-travelled hosts who have thought carefully about creating a comfortable and safe environment for their guests, and with a key to the back gate you'll able to come and go from their beautifully renovated little 'shed' without feeling like you're disturbing them. While there is certainly no pressure to interact with your hosts beyond the minimum required to arrange the practicalities of your stay, taking up the offer of a cup of tea with either or both of this delightful pair may be the unexpected highlight of your visit.

The Cozy Shed was ideal for my needs - comfortable and convenient. The richness of this experience is found in the hosts, Helen and Peter. They are naturally welcoming people who know how to offer the right balance of hospitality and personal space. Walter and Buzz equally make you feel at home. I hope to stay again when next in Melbourne.

Vicki was a lovely host, the cottage was adorable, clean and stocked full of everything you could need. I've recommended this stay to my friends and family and would recommend it to anyone planning on staying in St Kilda.

WHAT A GEM !!!!! If ever I have a house in Melbourne , this would be it :) :Such high standard : cosy, warm, super clean, convenient and simply beautiful little cottage(Picture perfect) . Tram to city and small convenient store just round the corner . Very quiet and safe neighbourhood . Vicki is so accommodative to our requests which make our stay even more comfortable. It was a wonderful start of our trip. Will definitely return to stay. I would highly recommend this place :) Aug 2013 , Singapore.

The chalet is truly a beautiful place. Fully equipped and very well prepared. Vicki made sure I had received all the information and directions before I left for my trip. Check in was easy enough and kitchen was very well equipped. My friend and I were especially happy about the little garden. We had our breakfast and tea out in the garden and it was very peaceful and beautiful. :) The chalet is close to the beach, stores, cafes and restaurants. Everything walking distance within St. Kilda. Even though I never met Vicki, she was very prompt and helpful!

It was so comfortable to stay at Vicki's cottage - it has everything you would expect from a luxury inn but with the privacy of having your own space! We had a fabulous time. Thanks Vicki!

I recently stayed in this beautiful chalet for the 3rd time. I absolutely love it. This time I stayed for 3 months and it felt like home. Vicki is a wonderful host. Nothing is too much trouble for her and she makes the entire experience feel very special. I tour the country for work and it's very important to me to feel comfortable wherever I stay. The chalet is very private and extremely well appointed. It has one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. It's very well situated close to the hustle and bustle of St Kikda's Acland Street and the beach and also far enough say to feel secluded and private. It's hard to go back to a hotel once you have stayed in this little hidden gem. It's uber cute and the garden courtyard is perfect for morning coffee or a great lunch with friends. The pictures of the chalet don't lie, it really is that cute! I'm sure I will stay here many more times when I visit Melbourne. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Second time back and loving this place. Amazing what Vicki has done to create this oasis in the heart of Melbourne

Amazing. Five star everything. Beautifully appointed, just amazing. Comfortable, interestingly decorated and so clean. Park Hyatt eat your hat!

This neat place left us wanting to come back! Great location, short walk to shops, cafes and public transport! Clean house, Lush gardens, Friendly Host! I cant Recommend this highly enough!

Noirit's humble abode is simple and tidy, so expect a fuss-free and no-frills experience during your stay. What shines through instead is the warm and hospitable personalities of Noirit and her husband, Steve, who actually took the effort to create their own personable guide of Fitzroy complete with other tourist(sy)flyers and pamphlets. It was extremely useful, especially for those who came quite unprepared (me)! Once again, I would like to extend my thanks to Noirit for having us and for those who are considering simpler option of accommodation - look no further!

Best stay I've ever had. Absolutely loved the room, great locationand super clean!..and Noirit and Steve have to be two of the kindest people in Melbourne!

Noirit is a super host! The room was clean and tidy and the apartment was spotless and very tidy. It was great to have our own bathroom which was clean and modern. We enjoyed having a chat with Noirit over a cuppa tea and she is super friendly and helpful. She has loads of tips on local places to go and provided us with everything we needed for a comfortable short stay in the worlds most livable city! Thanks for the wonderful stay!

As my first Airbnb experience, my stay at Noirit couldn't have been a better one. Her attention to detail and making me feel at home was equal to none. The location was perfect for dinning options but also for its proximity to the city. I highly recommend staying at Noirit, it was very much a pleasurable experience!

Comfortable clean friendly

A very clean and quiet residential apartment right next a bus and a tram stop in Carlton. Minutes away from lovely cafes and restaurants. Noirit and Steve are so nice that they waited for me for an extra hour upon check in when my flight got delayed. 100% recommended if you are going on a business trip or a city tour! PS: do read through their guidebook, it's real gold. Try all the eateries it suggests if you can! Will come back for sure!

Simply the best. Great comfortable modern accomodation in a fantastic location close to public transport and the cafe and restaurants in Lygon St. Noirit and Steve were such wonderful hosts very welcoming and friendly can't recommend it more highly

I had great moments in Noirit's (URL HIDDEN) is quite and lovely place. And the location of the place is great. As single If I will visit MEL anther time I will book this place :) اللحظات اللي عشتها في هذا المكان كانت ممتازه. و طبعاً الزين في هذا المكان بأنه نظيف و الافضل من ذلك الموقع ... المكان قريب من اماكن كثيره مشهوره . و بكل صراحه كانت ضيافتهم جداً جميله يوفرون لك جزء من المطبخ فيها اكل للفطور و انواع الشاي و القهوه ... انصحكم بلمكان

Stylish and cosy, with a great view from the balcony. Sergio was accommodating of my late check out.

Sergio was great. He was friendly and super accommodating and he made checking in easy and quick thanks to his responsive communications. The apartment was impeccable. Clean and stylish like the photos. This is a great host and a great place. I highly recommend it.

I had a wonderful stay. It was cozy, well set up and thought through. The perfect getaway accommodation.

We had a great stay in Sergio and Shin's apartment. The apartment is very clean, modern and a great place from which to explore the city and surrounds. Everything was great. Communication was easy. I recommend staying here!! It's nice to come back to a place that is quiet and relaxing after a day out.

really love this place! Great location, near various public transport. The place was clean when we arrived. And personally I like the arrangement and decoration of the apartment. I would definitely recommend this place to other travelers.

The apartment was very neat and great location. Sergio and Shin were very prompt in answering and had made perfect arrangements.

great apartment and very clean and modern. Hosts are excellent in their communication and promptly met us even though we arrived earlier that planned. will consider staying here again

I overly enjoyed my stay. Wish I would have booked for longer, the view was just amazing. Will stay again

Mo's apartment was perfectly located in the heart of the city centre, close to all the shopping and food places and within the free tram zone. Didn't get to meet Mo in person but he was quick to resolve issues we had with the apartment. Great stay overall.

Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Mo's city apartment. From the minute I arrived Mo was super nice and friendly and attentive. The apartment was clean, well equipped and a really great space, and the location is unmatchable. So so easy to get around the city from this apartment, will definitely be staying here again.

Location is perfect as it was central and just right in front of the Melb Central tram stop. Mo was quick to accommodate our early check-in and has been very responsive with our queries. Though wifi may be available across the streets, I did wish that the apartment came equipped with wireless internet. Overall, I would recommend the apartment as it's at a great location and clean.

Mo was right on time and was very welcoming. The apartment was central to everything in Melbourne but was not as clean as expected.

I won't say we had the greatest stay. For 5 people to stay in the apartment is definitely not suitable. The sofa is not a bed, and it is peeling so it is a mess. As mentioned, it suppose to have wifi access, but we were asked to use the national library's wifi which it is impossible to get connection from the apartment. Host suppose to meet us for check in but are unable to do so, even though he did give some instructions on how to get in the apartment but I am afraid we had a difficult time looking for the location. Host should be honest in mentioning that the apartment is at a unilodge to avoid any misunderstanding. We don't mind to pay as the location is convenient but we would really appreciate it if we have all the details on the apartment .

Nice location, location just opposite the state library.

Most hospitable host ever!!! Highly recommened.

Mo was a kind and helpful host. Place was clean and close to everything.

We lived in S&S's apartment for 3 nights. The apartment is exactly the same as its discerption. The location is convenient. Sergio & Shin and their friend were friendly and helpful. We definitely will choose this apartment if we come Melbourne again.

Sergio was very welcoming and helpful in making our stay enjoyable.

Great experience beautiful apartment and the host couldn't have been better.

Good view..can cook in the house was good. but bed fitted sheet..maybe they didnt change..sweat smell.. we couldnt sleep inside the bed..slept on the doona. Bath room door was broken ..couldnt close the door.

Perfect beautiful 62F outsight view Clean room, Clean bathroom Comfortable bed Kind Host If i have one opportunity I would like to stay here I had really exciting experience (^. ^

An unbelievable apartment! The view is magnificent in one of the high towers of Melbourne. The apartment is decorated with care and it is very clean. The bathroom is really very nice. A place I highly recommend to spend a few days in Melbourne. Go there without hesitation!

Great hosts that were helpful and quick to respond to questions. Location was ideal and the apartment was very comfortable with spectacular city & harbour views. Amenities were fabulous too. We'd be happy to stay again!

Great place with an awesome view. Super convenient location.

Great bolt-hole in the centre of town. Very clean, quiet and amazing views. Definitely recommend.

Always great.

Great clean place in great location with beautiful viewd

Convenient location, compact, simple clean and well maintained, good for 1-2 people with space for 3.

Overall a great experience- good location if you're coming straight from the airport & within the free tram zone which makes shopping a breeze.

A nice little apartment in the heart of the city - Sergio was a nice host.

Great location and super cute apartment! Enjoyed our stay.

I loved this apartment. It is my third stay with Sergio and Shin, and each experience has been fantastic. The apartment is close to everything, is tastefully fitted out, and has everything you need during your stay. I would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks again, Sergio and Shin. I hope to stay with you again soon.

Great place to stay with really nice house/roommates. Apartment was clean and everything worked perfectly good. Would recommend and stay again.

ロケーション抜群で、駅近、とてもお優しい夫婦と娘さんと暮らす家族です。安心して過ごせます!!!

Great location for any public transportations, shopping,dining,very convenient for a comfortable relaxed stay with NO challanges

I was made to feel very welcomed. Neil met me at the door and greeted me warmly and showed me around his lovely apartment filling me in on places in the vicinity to have coffee, breakfast etc. The listing description was accurate - a lovely old character apartment with history. The neighbourhood was lively. I loved watching all the activity from the apartment windows whilst having a coffee. It was lovely of an evening as well with the lights of the city. The tree-lined street is charming with the added bonus of being within walking distance of Bourke Street, Southbank, Flinders Street Station and the NGV to mention a few.

Terrific in every way.

The best location in Melbourne. If you love antiques and need a place to sleep while visiting, this is the cheapest accommodation with the most lovliest host who is always willing to help you with your stay.

We had a very pleasant stay in this perfectly located, comfortable apartment. The host was charming and very obliging. I would definitely stay there again and recommend the apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in Melbourne.

We had some last minute travel changes and Robert and Neil were both very accommodation. Thanks to Neil for staying up late to welcome us into the unit. He was full of information and local knowledge. It was an excellent location and we had a fantastic time in Melbourne!

Had a lovely stay at the Collins St apartment. We were greeted by Neil who made us very welcome and was a lovely host. The apartment had lots of character, a great view and all the conveniences we needed. Location was fantastic with an easy walk to Melbourne's attractions. Communication with the host was easy with quick response time. We highly recommend this apartment.

On arrival we were given a warm welcome by Neil. He showed us through the apartment and explained the very interesting history of the art works and Barry Humphries connection. We both enjoyed the warmth of the apartment and fabulous view from the Bay window. The apartment was very clean and the beds comfortable. We would certainly be happy to stay again. As well the location was awesome being so close to the CBD and the trams running just outside the main entrance. A very happy stay in fabulous Melbourne. Thank you Neil and Robert

Robert and Neil were great hosts. The place is just as pictured and very close to cafés and restaurants in the CBD. It's also a short walk to the river and a couple parks. I was in town for business, so didn't spend much time in the flat. Also, it doesn't have wifi, but there are a few places nearby to get online.

Apartment is located near CBD, easy access by tram. Short walk to reach Melbourne museum and Italian Street. Parking cost and parking lot availability may be a concern, luckily for me I've returned the rental car before my check-in. Room is furnished with a large selection of books, a electric heater, biscuits, choc and coffee powder, yogurt and packet juice in mini fridge. Overall had a good experience staying in the apartment. Thanks to Nadeen for hosting me during my stay at Carlton.

I stayed in Nadeen and Michael's apartment in Carlton for 4 nights. The room is a generous size, tastefully furnished and comfortable. Additional conveniences include TV, ironing board, fridge stocked with basics and towels. The location was convenient for me, being short walk to restaurants and the CBD. I would not hesitate to stay there again, it's amazing value for a short stay.

A real Airbnb gem! In a quiet part of Carlton but very accessible from the airport and CBD, Nadeen and Michael's place is full of character. The room is comfortable and tastefully decorated with plenty of creature comforts - including my favourite, lots of back issues of National Geographic to read! The shared bathroom is great too. With a warm welcome and a friendly dog too, this place couldn't be better. Loved it! It's most definitely at the top of our list for our next trip across Bass Strait!

Great location! Easy walking distance to lots of restaurants and the cbd. Nadeen was very welcoming and so helpful about how to get to the places I wanted to go to and told me about places I didn't know about. The room was so big and lovely, very clean. I had a great time and have already recommended Nadeen to family. Thanks Nadeen :)

Just want to say a big thank you. Our 2 night stay was good. We found our room very spacious and comfortable, the bathroom is shared with other tenants. Part of the stairs are steep and narrow. Michael helped us with our bags, thankyou for that. There is no TV in the room, and we had a small radio/CD player to use, but the CD player button was broken, so only had the radio to listen to at night. There was a selection of CDs in the room. The location was very central and convenient for our needs. Lots of eateries within walking distance. Nadeen and Michael were very friendly and helpful. Rusty the dog is lovely. Street parking is limited and restricted and Nadeen sorted that by swapping her car park and supplying us with all day parking stickers. Overall good location and friendly hosts. Thank you.

This was an amazing Airbnb experience! The location was perfect and the hosts were fantastic. We were meet by Nadeen's partner Micheal when we arrived, he brought us through his incredible wood workshop and up to our room where we were greeted by Tim Tams, Teas and fresh coffee. We asked if we could do a washing whilst we were staying there and Nadeen was so cool she even offered to take it to the launderette for us so we wouldn't have to spoil our evening in Melbourne. The guys were great and it was such a good stay, we'd highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay at Nadeen's place! Definitely, it's the best location you can find in Melbourne! Nadeen and her husband are very nice, friendly and welcoming! The room has everything you need, and even more! A very good breakfast to start a busy travelling day, tea, coffee, as much as you like, and also we had some very tasty chocolates and sweets in the room. We would definitely recommend this place to stay at! Thank you for everything!

Lovely room! Nadeen prepared everything we needed. Thanks a lot.

This place is perfect, late night food available everywhere. Great American food available till 3am next door at Nieuw Amsterdam. One of the best coffees I've ever had at the cafe out the front door. This place is deceiving. Upon walking in security entrance it seems the place will be tiny and then you open the door to this huge modern space. This will be a regular place for me when travelling to Melb.

Simone and jarrod were both very lovely and very easy to communicate with before and during our stay! They answered any of our questions, and left us with plenty of information at the apartment! The apartments location was fantastic! With amazing restaurants and cafes literall next door (niew Amsterdam is amazing)! Will hopefully return sooner rather than later :)

A great location! A great apartment and greats hosts! What more could we say. Oh, the Lobster Benedict at the café next door is worth getting up early to beat the crowds for. We'll be back!

Our group of 5 shopping and dining hungry ladies just loved this place! The cafes and bar just outside were divine but it also served as an ideal base for checking out Melbourne's hotspots. The space was modern but cosy, the beds were comfy and the shower was a deluge! Simone and Jarrod were easy to communicate with and we loved the extra touches. Would definitely recommend this apartment!

Great apartment - close to everything with excellent restaurants and cafes in the area

Simone & Jarrod are great host! Very friendly and accommodating - they make an effort to clean up the house earlier to accomdate to our request for early check in; our kids were really tired after an overnight flight. They had thoughtfully prepared almost everything you need for a holiday stay; mykis for public transport, maps, umbrellas, hair dryer, the cereals and snacks in the kitchen are a pleasant surprise! The apartment is even better than the pictures, spacious, comfy beds, very clean bathroom and shower! The location is superb, loads of Cafes just out the front door, walking distance to the central and tram station. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone!

Simply stunning in every aspect. From the spacious and cool interior to the myke travel cards, sweets and biscuits, this apartment had it all. Located in the heart of the CBD, everything is on the doorstep. A brilliant basement bar next door was the last watering hole on our journey home each night - and we don't usually stay out late! Met Simone and Jarrod as we left and personally thanked them for making our first visit to Melbourne, a great one. Forgot to mention that the communication before our stay was exceptional, with every aspect considered - I could go one........

Our stay at Hardware was amazing starting from weeks before we left for Melbourne. The hosts looked after us from the get go to make sure we had a pleasant and positive experience. The apartment exceeded our expectations. The location alone was spectacular but also very trendy and modern and felt like home. Although it was right in the heart of the CBD and there's a bar and club right next door its a surprisingly quiet and relaxing apartment with total privacy. We even ate breakfast at Hash (#) only meters from our door nearly every morning as the food, the staff and the owner were so amazing. Couldn't speak highly enough of this apartment and its hosts.

Very good position,close to transport and central to most. Would recommend.

Our visit to Kristin,Chris (and Basil’s) was our very first Air b’n’b adventure and what an absolutely wonderful introduction it proved to be! Kristin and Chris were the most gracious and thoughtful hosts you could ever wish for and provided us with a veritable mine of local information for our three week stay. The apartment was wonderfully provisioned with all essentials, fresh fruit and flowers. It is roomy, light, self contained and crammed with books and Kristin’s beautiful art work ( and if poetry is your cup of tea you will need to ask Chris for some of his wonderful poetry to read while you are there.) The apartment is just a stone’s throw from Sydney Rd, with cafes, supermarkets, post office, laundrette- everything thing that you could possibly need and so convenient for the number 19 tram line leading straight into the city centre. Having said all that, De Carle Street is surprisingly peaceful so that the courtyard area remains beautifully tranquil for a morning coffee. When we return to Melbourne we will most certainly be returning to ‘Chateau de Carle’ - and we know we will have to book well in advance as this will become one of the most popular Air b’n’bs in the city!

I loved staying with the Chris' and Basil is a delight. The rooms were lovely and light and the bookcase kept me happily occupied. I stayed 1 week and easily could have stayed a month. My hosts were very helpful and interesting. Everything about this place was perfect from the design to the toilet paper to the bowl of fruit.

We were made to feel extremely welcome and the owners were charming and most responsive. Loved the Area,close to everything,easy to park.

kristin & chris are lovely warm people with a beautiful house, well looked after by their enthusiastic dog, basil. my only regret is not staying longer to read all their books

When I arrived Kristin was so welcoming , she made me feel at home immediately and familiarised me with the gorgeous apartment. The profile was very accurate and I loved everything about this haven. A great bed with good linen and books to read, a lovely bathroom and so close to Sydney Road and the tram....what more could I want?

This is the second time I have stayed here....and will do so again.

Kristin, Chris, and Basil made our (mum and I) first experience with Airbnb very positive. She was always very prompt with her email conversations during my initial enquiries, which I really appreciated. Kristin was home to greet us when we arrived, and provided a nice balance between interaction and privacy. The description of the apartment as being very light filled and 'arty'was accurate which was a relief! The location was also as described- central yet peaceful. It was so nice to be able to hear the birds in the morning :) Our circumstances unfortunately changed at the last minute which meant we did not stay for the entire duration of our booking, and Kristin was very accommodating with this. I would certainly recommend Kristin and co's apartment to anyone visiting Melbourne!
