Reviews

  • Kirsten from Australia (8/10)

    I really liked that the home had it's own individual style with some lovely artwork, rugs & natural timber throughout.
    It felt very comfortable & "home like".
    The location was fantastic. Really close to the buzz of Brunswick Street night life, whilst setback enough that it was quiet when you came home.
    The host was brilliant at keeping us informed about practical items & replying to any queries.

  • Hilary from Australia (4/10)

    The location was great. The linen was fresh and clean.

  • Jaymii from Australia (8/10)

    Perfect location to walk to restaurants, the tram, museums, bars – basically everything! The accom itself is so cute, was very clean and the courtyard area with an outdoor bathroom was a big plus, perfect for a larger group.
