Luxico manages luxury properties and have great marketing. Unfortunately, their marketing is the only thing they do well. Maybe a name change to Basico is required.

We're disappointed to see this negative review.
After an initial system error with your accommodation, we worked with you to find another suitable option and believe we did all we could do to ensure you had an enjoyable stay with us. We're sorry that there was some internal issues with billing that caused undue stress after your stay however it was resolved promptly by one of our senior reservations members after it was flagged by you.
We hope that we get the chance to host you again in the future and make amends for this atypical first impression.

Still the best!
So close to everything we need. A great yard for our dog. Very clean and comfortable. Everything you need in the kitchen and more. Nice and quiet while being so close to the centre of town is a real boon.

The best!
High quality accommodation in a bustling area of Melbourne. The apartment was perfect for our family and small dog. It was a lovely treat to receive the welcome pack. All appliances were of a high standard. We were close to shops, public transport and a lot's of amazing eateries. All efforts were made to ensure our comfort. Parking was very convenient. The apartment is well insulated against noise and had good security. The kitchen is well stocked and easy to use. Having an outdoor area that was quiet and private was a wonderful bonus. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be returning.
