Very Good

From the meet and greet, to the room, to the location... was great... room really clean and perfect for a city stay...
Easy to contact, would definitely stay again... thanks....
The room was clean, whilst the check in inside oyur room felt a bit awkward the person checking us in was really nice and very helpful.
The only thing we didn't like was the bed, it was a hard bed and quite uncomfortable.
Location was great, just on the edge of the city , a nice place
This place was fantastic.. They really did me a solid by giving me a room on higher floor overlooking the market. For a solo traveler or even 2 people that place is great and in a good central location. The person met me at the place when I arrived, showed me around and then left me alone. Perfect. As mentioned in previous reviews, the kitchen area is small and not the most modern but everything worked great and was perfect for my needs. Would definintely stay here again.

Great location close to Vic Markets and easy 10min walk to Central Station. Quick response and communication from owners when needed.
The room was sufficient, the bed was comfortable. I was within walking distance to cafes, public transport, theatres, etc.
I did think the listing included a washing machine, but this was out of order. There were paid laundry facilities on-site though. The dishwasher in the room (bonus), was also not working.

Quiet city location in Melbourne (trams are around the corner) but with easy access in all doirections via public transport. Room had everything we needed and was comfortable. Great value for money.
Much like other reviews, this was disappointing. The room was not very clean (marks on the pillow, hair from the last guest and mould in the shower). The air con unit was VERY loud and not very effective. The wardrobe unit was broken and hanging off the top hinge - notified staff but it wasn’t fixed in the 4 nights we stayed despite them saying it was a real safety risk and that they’d get it fixed asap. Staff member we dealt with was friendly. Again, we weren’t aware it wasn’t a hotel when we booked - quite misleading.
Wonderful, welcoming, informative staff!
Great location!

The room felt neglected. The aircon was not working the full length of our stay and the host looked like he was in a hurry to leave the room on our arrival. He left in 2 mins withouaaddressing the
