Great introduction to Australia

The place was comfortable for a week long stay. The location in the Southbank area was within walking distance to many attractions with tram connections in front of the building. Our hosts were friendly and shared local knowledge readily. Very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in that area.

Wonderful Apartment,Great Location, Thoughtful Hosts!

Pier and Simon's apartment is comfortable, well stocked and in a spectacular building. The fitness center, hot tub/jacuzzi and lap pool were terrific to use afte full days in Melbourne. It was easy walking to many venues, including Melbourne Park for the Australian Tennis Open. It is also a short walk from the free tram system which is great. Nearby isThe South Melbourne Fresh Market and an Aldi and Woolies Markets. We can go on, but will summarize by stating that the hosts were concerned that we were happy and that this rental is a total winner!!

Exceptional

The apartment was as advertised. But it was more! It was our home away from home. There was ample evidence that it was not just a commercial apartment for rent. There were many things that made it seem like our home. We loved all these touches. It was very well equipped with all the things we needed to live there for 4 months. We were there for some Spring, all Summer and a little bit of Fall. The apartment met all requirements for the 3 seasons. The hosts were outstanding. They were helpful and yet not intrusive into our space. We had a lot in common so the landlords took us under their wing and made certain that we did things that someone in our situation might not. We saw Australia as Australians do, not as tourists. We could not recommend this apartment and the hosts more highly

Home Away from Home

Arriving for the weekend, we were met by the very personable Peir downstairs, and escorted to our accommodation. The apartment is a very clean, well maintained space, with lots of personal touches that make it feel cared for, and homely. On the Sunday we walked a short distance to the South Melbourne Market, and that night dined on the produce we purchased. I can't think of any negatives with the hosts, location, or rooms, would definitely recommend and stay again.
