Lola apartment was beautiful. It had the wow factor of Downton Abbey. It made our stay in Melbourne feel magical. We can’t wait to stay there again. A jewel in the crown.
Walking in to “Lola” was a step back in time! It was so well thought out and there was such attention to detail. Check in/out was very simple.The host was very communicative and replied quickly to questions. Amenities were outstanding
Honestly, we couldn't rate this two bedroom apartment high enough. As a renovator, I could not see a thing that could be improved upon. The theme of this was adorable, the added touches, the location, balcony, views, beds and bedding were all so perfect. I need their exquisite touch in my own home!

Dear Lara,
We're thrilled you loved the apartment and appreciated our attention to detail. It's wonderful to know our hard work hit the mark. Thank you for your generous feedback!
Best Regards.
The photos on the listing don't do this property justice! Stepping into Lola is like stepping back in time (while still having all the daily amenities).
Younger children may not appreciate the beauty of this place, and there are a few decorations that are breakable.

Thank you for your kind words - we are thrilled you enjoyed your stay!
Staying at Lola is deeply satisfying for a variety of reasons. Her location is great, good walking distance to central Melbourne CBD and Docklands, and within the free tram range. Lola has great appeal for those seeking a little je ne sais quoi… a little difference…She has stories to tell you and she leaves you feeling like you have been playing a role in Bridgerton or Downton Abbey… At Lola, you will sleep well, in comfortable beds, with lovely linen. You will bathe and wash with beautifully scented shower / bath products. You will eat with silver cutlery and gold rimmed dinnerware, seated with lovely mood lighting. You will sip port and eat chocolate on her small but prettily decorated verandah. And most of all, you will leave her, wanting to return as soon as you can…
Thanks for the wonderful stay and interesting communication, Patricia and Irvine. You are 5 star hosts with a 5 star property!
