The property is in Melbourne downtown. A lot of restaurants are nearby. it is only 5 mins walk to Flinders train station.
The check-in instruction need to be updated. The picture in the instruction was out of date.
When we stayed in the property, the building had an issue about the A/C. As a result, the property was kind of hot.
Such a great location, close to restaurants and Flinders Street Station. The only negative was no tea bags or milk for cuppas to cover us until we could get the the shops.
Location of this property is perfect!
We come to Melbourne every year and this is one of the best for location and ease of getting around. The apartment has everything you need and has a good feel about it.
We'll definitely be returning.
The property was extremely clean and very close to everything we needed. Well situated in Melbourne.
Tram and train at the door and plenty of places to eat with a large variety of restaurants .
I had a problem opening the locked box as I have severe arthritis but the owener was very helpful.
We had a most enjoyable stay
Very clean and tidy apartment. Amenities provided in the unit were great as we didn’t have to go and buy everything (dish liquid, paper towel, laundry, etc) just a few little things. Fabulous location with everything close by. Queen bed was uncomfortable but we used fold out. Unit exactly as advertised. Highly recommend!
Great stay here with wife and 2 teenagers. Property is clean, comfortable and convenient. May seem noisy if you’re not used to city life but not at all if you are. Highly recommend for a trip into the city of Melbourne.
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. The apartment had all we needed, and the central location meant we did not need to worry about transport. Everything you need is at your doorstep.
Very enjoyable...central to everything...stylish apartment.
Comes with being in city centre but a tip to take earplugs....garbage trucks very early..
Thank you very much
Excellent
We stayed a week at this laneway apartment and wished we could have stayed another week! It was simply the ideal location. We loved the high ceilings in this apartment. The decor was nice and inviting. It had a fine kitchen for making simple meals (and with so many restaurants around we found that we ate out more than expected). Access to shops and to transit was exceptional. Simply loved our stay.
Lovely, clean apartment smack dab in the heart of a hip area of Melbourne. Although busy with eateries down on the street the apartment was quiet and safe. Definitely as nice as advertised. We had a slight misunderstanding about how the apartment and building were numbered, probably based on a different system in the US, but it was cleared up quickly and we were able to enter easily after that.
The apartment was lovely and in a fantastic location. You do hear some street noise but that is part of staying in the city. We found the main bed extremely hard and uncomfortable but apart from that enjoyed our stay immensely
Loved staying here, and will definitely come back. Lovely apartment in an unbeatable location, with everything you need literally on your doorstep. It was also surprisingly quiet given the mayhem outside (though you do get the ubiquitous early morning garbage and delivery trucks, so bring earplugs for that). Hosts were really responsive, with clear instructions for checking in. Look forward to coming back.
Being right on Degraves Street was super convenient to shops, restaurants and transport. There was noise at night when trying to sleep (people talking and the occasional garbage truck), but it was expected. The apartment has lovely high ceilings and is clean and had everything we needed.
Very convenient location. You're in a lane full of cafes and restaurants just near Flinders St Stn.
The building is a converted department store.
The apartment is comfortable and well appointed. It has high ceilings so doesn't feel small.
Some reviews commented it can be noisy at night or in the mornings. There is noise at times, but it's occasional.
That's the trade off for the location, which is hard to beat.
My family and I loved our stay at this property. The proximity to transport and food outlets can not be beaten. The noise at night was fine once you got used to it. We want to come back to Melbourne and this would be our first choice.
The only negative we experienced was with the beds. The mattresses was too hard for our liking. The kids coped with the single beds but my wide and I struggled with the queen mattresses hardness. Perhaps having an extra soft topping mattress available could make that valuable difference for some people.
Otherwise great property to enjoy your adventures in Melbourne at.
Very disappointed that there wasn't Any milk at all....even long life or pods would have been appreciated for morning coffee. The first single bed I tried was Totally unacceptable. It felt as though there was an iron bar running up the middle of the mattress, and was terribly uncomfortable. The second single bed was perfectly fine, so that was ok. The TV remote was playing up badly, and it took ages to get to the place you wanted to be on the programming. Overall, we were somewhat disappointed with the place and would not choose to stay there again.
I picked this for its location and it did not disappoint but was not a very comfortable place for 4 adults to stay for multiple nights (5). The owner could only provide one key which meant we had to use the combo lock box across the alley to leave the key in every time we came and went (as we were going in 4 separate directions every day). Whoever arrived first, then had to come down to let everyone in as they arrived. There are no dressers and the closets and drawers under the bed are so filled with stuff that it was difficult to unpack anything that was not on a hangar. The second bedroom is too small to leave suitcases out so they had to open and close them every time they wanted to get anything out. We found the beds to be very hard, especially the child mattress in the second guest room that has motorcycles on it. However, if your idea of comfort is a 4" Ikea Mattress on an Ikea platform bed, you will be very happy. It is very noisy in the evening and early in the morning but I used earplugs and it did not bother me. The kitchen is well-stocked with all you need to cook and it was lovely to have access to laundry in the flat.
A fantastic central location above a buzzing laneway, offering a perfect base for a family of 5. Be prepared, however, for firm beds, early morning street noise and the temptation of so much good food at your doorstep. Good communication from the owners.
A brilliant 2 bedroom apartment in the middle of Melbourne. Degraves St is so central for all of Melbournes attractions and this apartment is in one of Melbournes cool alleyways
