Self Contained Unit in Mill Park.
This is the perfect place if you're looking for a pleasant, semi rural location for a medium short or even a long stay. Alieh is the perfect host and the flat itself has everything you need. We were 2 Brits coming to OZ for a year and needed somewhere to stay for a month while finding out feet. This worked beautifully for us. The location is slightly out of the way which for us was fine as we could come back to our haven after job hunting and football training. Alieh was brilliant to deal with and took us under her wing. You cannot go wrong al Alieh's lovely place, thank you

Mako House - Spacious & great for families!
Sheryl as a host was very responsive and accommodating. She accepted our early check in request very promptly.. The house is in a very good condition with all the required amenities... Thanks for making our stay/trip a memorable one.

4 Bedroom Home with Pool Aircon WIFI
The house was beautiful- very light and airy with lots of space. My family were sharing with my sister and her family - we all enjoyed our stay in the house - lots of room for us all to spread out. The house was extremely clean and tidy when we arrived. It was very easy to access the trams and shops from the house. The area that the house was in was beautiful and very quiet - after a busy day sightseeing it was lovely to come back and relax in. The swimming pool is solar powered but we had hot weather whilst there so were able to use it. Would absolutely recommend this house.

Paradise in Port
We very much enjoyed our stay! It's a lovely 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home in a terrific location.

Brum's Place
Great Host, perfect for hosting large groups, plenty of privacy for group of couples. Spacious and clean for reasonable price in a big group.

Cheerful 5 bedroom family home with pool
Robert was a fabulous host as he was responsive and helpful. The house was ideal for our 3 generations to stay as it was homely and had enough space for everyone to co exist. We could relax and enjoy the place without worrying about the house being too pristine to move. Great family getaway. Thanks Robert.

A really great home away from home. We had a really comfortable stay and thought the house was really clean on arrival. Great place for a weekend away.

EL KARNAK•Historic City Fringe Cali Bungalow Charm
was a great play to say for a boardgames weekend away with a few good food options near by.

Brick & Bridle Residence
The host was very responsive in replying to messages, especially when we needed an earlier check in and when we needed help because we locked ourselves out. She arranged for someone to come within 30 mins to help us get in. The place itself was enormous, modern, clean and a perfect setting for any group holiday or to host a gathering.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this Airbnb in Melbourne! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was super cozy, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the living area was the perfect spot to relax after exploring the city. The location was ideal — close to public transport, cafes, restaurants, and some fantastic local spots. It made getting around Melbourne a breeze. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, which made us feel right at home. Our host was incredibly kind and responsive, offering great local recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Melbourne. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a stylish, comfortable, and convenient home base near city !

We would absolutely stay again—highly recommend for anyone looking for a homely and relaxing stay in Melbourne!

Urban Retreat in Footscray.22
Tam was extremely helpful and responsive to my questions. The place was very clean and had individual aircon control rather than a central unit, which is good if you are travelling in a large group. Highly recommended.

Cosy Cottage in North Fitzroy
Monty’s townhouse has been beautifully renovated and finished to have you everything you need and more. The kitchen has to be one of the best I’ve used through Airbnb, stocked with everything you need from cake tins, cocktail glasses to organic basics. Monty took care of us by arranging a high chair and a late check out. We felt really happy with our stay :)

A Sylvia Home in Deepdene
We had a few issues with our bookings in term of schedule, it was a breeze to get it rectified toward our desired timing… booked for the whole month

Rose-Modern House next to CBD and Airport
Fabulous new home with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms plus another toilet downstairs. Separate air conditioners in each room. Spotless. Extra touches like a box of toys and children’s books was great. Would highly recommend staying here.

A really nice place which suited us for our stay. Super funky and quite a cool set up. Thanks Cal for having us.

Absolutely amazing stay! We are a family of 4 and loved our stay at this place. It was very clean and super comfortable. Kids enjoyed the games, books and music! Cannot beat the location and privacy at this beautiful home! Anthony, our host was friendly, responsive, helpful and very experienced. Thank you Anthony for all the timely emails and clear instructions.

Marks place was awesome! Super close to nearby shops and looks just like the photos. There’s also a great outdoor space for entertaining. Would recommend!
