A gorgeous aesthetic throughout this second floor apartment. High ceilings, lovely fixtures, huge new stove and oven, air conditioning and heating throughout, even heated towel racks in both bathrooms. New and clean. Plenty of cupboard space.Gorgeous natural light flooding in and situated in a leafy quiet street close to StKilda and Elwood village. Highly recommend.

We had a great experience at this apartment. It’s very comfortable, cute modern decor, stocked kitchen and great windows & patio. I didn’t read the description carefully enough and assumed there was a washer/dryer, but in fact theres only a washer (and a drying rack). This became a problem because they only gave us one small white towel per person, one floor mat, and one hand towel for each basin. It was rainy and if we’d washed the towels they wouldn’t have dried for days. When we requested more towels, we were told they only provide one per person, but that they could bring 4 more for $150!
I would still highly recommend the unit, but noir the owners were more accommodating with the towels.
Also a tip: there is no lift in this building. The apartment is up 2 flights of stairs.

My wife, son and I spent a very enjoyable week at this apartment in Melbourne. The neighborhood is quiet and well located, within walking distance to the St Kilda beach and town, and to Elwood as well. The apartment itself is very well appointed, quiet and comfortable. Charlotte was extremely responsive to any questions, if/when needed. We are very happy we chose to stay here and would return again next time in Melbourne.

Great location. Appreciated the tea/coffee provisions with the property in close proximity to a coles to pick up milk.
An easy walk to teams and trains and also AAMI stadium where we had an event to attend.
Comfy beds and quality linen and towels. We will be back again :)

I paid but did not stay. I arrived a month early in April. I booked the wrong month - May. Property manager was understanding about this.
But: Cancellation put through Stayz app but apparently not effective. Communication with property manager confusing as auto responses didn’t gel with person-to-person contact.

I recently spent 2 delightful weeks at Family Friendly Mt Martha Unit. Excellent location, really comfy queen size bed, nicely air conditioned. The only criticizm I have is the shower over bath with no handles to help navigate †he climb. For an older citizen it was quite scary.

Nice comfortable place, very suitable for 2 adults with 1 child. Location is brilliant, very accessible to shops, beach, walks and things to do. We had issues gaining access to the keys, and the host was fantastic in helping us to resolve the issue. I'm very happy to recommend the unit as a comfortable place to stay.

Great location: close to beach, right across road from botanical gardens, next to Jewish school which is entertaining at school pick up. Some great walks around, and we loved breakfast at Jerry’s. Apartment is great! Everything you need and more. Nicely furnished, comfy, and well thought out.

An excellent location. Everything is on your doorstep including the trans. Great soundproofing from the double glazing. Very clean and tidy but unfortunately smelling a little bit like old smoke from cigarettes. This cleared up with opening all the windows when we first arrived.
Thank you to Charlotte for allowing us to check in early. We would be happy to stay again.

This is a very comfortable apartment, beautifully kept and very convenient for the G, the CBD and main routes in and out of Melbourne. It's near great public transport links, good local cafes and restaurants, quiet neighbours. Communications with the owner were prompt, helpful and friendly. We will definitely return if we can.

We spent three nights at Butler's Place with a family of five adults.
The host Charlotte was very accommodating and went out of her way for us.
The place was clean and tidy and the location excellent for our purposes.
I would highly recommend staying in this home.

Small comfortable property for our family of 4! Beds were comfy and lots of blankets for warmth. Only complaint is the squealing shower, but aside from the noise - a great shower.

This property is fraudulently advertised. The home is in horrendously bad condition! It is filthy dirty with rat traps in the bedroom and all over the front porch. It is in a bad neighborhood which is a major safety concern considering that the front door does not close properly and has a huge gap underneath it. There are giant cracks in the walls and many areas of mold. When we brought up these concerns to the host we were only offered a cleaning service more than 24 hours after check-in. The rat traps and other disturbing problems were never addressed. Needless to say, we were unable to stay there due to the awful condition of the home. The host has refused to refund any of our money. This is an absolute insult, especially because the price was wildly inflated due to a popular performer having a concert in town. Do not be fooled by the deceptive pictures. This property is DISGUSTING!!

We loved the flat as it was light and airy and very spacious. It was great for spending time with family (who live very close by). Charlotte was swift and helpful in responding to any queries.
The location was perfect for us as close to shops, transport and the sea, but quiet and leafy too.
Overall a very comfortable and happy stay.

The property was very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. It was a nice layout, other than the desk being in a corner (I go to Melbourne for work, so desk set-up is important). The property manager was extremely responsive, and the instructions to get into the unit were perfect (pictures included!).
The only 2 drawbacks for me for the visit, was I was there for over a week, and there is only one set of linens, and so I felt like I was constantly having to do laundry (FYI, if you are American, its a "European" set-up on the linens - no wash cloths). I also cook a lot, and the kitchen utensils were barely adequate, with even having to put some back together.
It was a great neighborhood, and the building was quiet, other than at 7am when there was always something going on in the alley at that time. Heating/air conditioning were not great, so definitely bring layers for winter (which I don't mind).

The process of checking out was quite stressful. U should be able to just email the host direct. Stayz does not allow u to do that. Also when booking Stayz does not tell u that u have to pay a security bond to the host a day or two before arrival. Disappointing

I was on assignment for work and needed a location in CBD. Here is what I loved! The building was meticulous and everyone was friendly. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything I needed to really live there and make meals. As for the location it is by a tram stop and easily walk to the river for a meal or shopping. So many delicious restaurants in the area. Charlotte was wonderful and answered any question I had so quickly. I would absolutely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at Claremont Style and Comfort.
Charlotte's communication through our booking and check in process was excellent. The apartment was clean, comfortable (particularly the beds) and roomy. Really nice building, great views and wonderful location - just down the road from good restaurants and shops. We were in Melbourne for the Grand Final, and the location was an easy half hour walk to the MCG along the river. We cooked breakfast each morning and the kitchen (complete with labelled drawers!) was a joy to cook in. Thanks Charlotte, we really loved your home and enjoyed our stay.

We were so pleased to be in Country Cottage. It’s got the feel and character we like, so lacking in most short term accommodation. It’s quiet for sleeping in and has lovely places to sit to eat or relax in the garden and the house, whilst being close to the buzz of Brunswick, good food and great shopping. A perfect blend of the best of both worlds.

We were a large group - 2 families of 4 adults each - who stayed for 3 nights. Communication with the host was very easy and fully comprehensive check in instructions were received. The host was very quick to respond to any questions we had. The property was very clean and spacious with plenty of room for everyone, and the area was lovely - with a tram stop about 100m away and plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants all around. Would definitely stay here again!

Great communication with the host / very reassuring. A wonderful property - which gave our family a ‘home base’ very close to Melbourne CBD / Lygon Street, and also ‘residential’ / relaxed with an amazing outdoor area. All the amenities you could wish for. To sit outside each morning in absolute security / peace was relaxing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the apartment was sophisticated, spacious and full of light. High ceilings, lead-light windows and doors, timber floors and views over treetops & rooftops added to the ambiance. It reminded us of places we've stayed in Montréal and Paris.Our bed, flanked by tall, arched windows in the main bedroom, was very comfortable, as was the generous leather couch in the lounge room. A Scandi-style dining setting could generously seat six. Bathrooms were slick, with a black and white theme and dual shower heads (large head plus arm shower). The kitchen had modern appliances, plus a fabulous Falcon stove - a real treat for those who love to cook. The laundry was well-equipped, with a Bosch washing machine and separate dryer. The whole apartment had plenty of storage space, always appreciated by travellers. All communications with Charlotte, from booking to departure, were courteous, helpful and prompt.We would highly recommend this property for one or two couples, bearing in mind that access to the entry on the second floor is via a long external stairway.

Suburb was quiet, especially post Xmas but plenty of coffee shops and cafes open nearby . Enclosed back yard for small children to play safely while still easy to see. Also great children’s playground nearby. A great family house to gather in. Host was easy to communicate with and responded quickly.
