“This house had the best view in Melbourne! It was lovely especially on a stormy day sitting and watching the passing parade. Even though it was so central, it was still quiet at night. It was about 50 metres walk from the apartment to a train stop to get the free inner city trams to anywhere in Melbourne's CBD. We had a great stay and fell back in love with the city of Melbourne. Thanks so much Nerio!”

“Absolutely the best location. We walked to the theatre and the MCG and the free tram stops, cafes, bars and Victoria market and central shopping. A beautiful view from the apartment with a very comfy bed and great shower. There was a tasty home made loaf left for us and and fresh coffee. Perfect.”
“What we loved about Nerio’s place: 1. The location is superb so close to the MCG and Melbourne Park and lots of bars, restaurants and theatres nearby. 2. The floor to ceiling windows gave us glorious sunrises looking over the treetops of Treasury Gardens. 3. Well provisioned with coffee machine and appliances and we were invited to use whatever we found in the fridge including beer. 4. Excellent communication with Nerio at all times. He went out of his way to help us with dates. 5. Car parking What we didn’t like: 1. The kitchen and bathroom were not as clean as we expected 2. The kitchen is incredibly cluttered with hardly any bench space for meal preparations”
“Nerio and Alexina’s place is in a fabulous location - close to lots of local bars and restaurants and minutes from the trams. The apartment isn’t huge but the clever use of mirrors and the full height windows make the apartment feel spacious and light. The view from the windows is spectacular - day and night. The rooftop pool is a real plus and the water was warm even in winter. The apartment is their main home so feels homely. The kitchen is fine but quite crowded so it is not very easy to prepare and cook meals but with so many great places a few minutes walk away why would you bother to cook! Highly recommend ”
“Location, location, location. Wonderful apartment with rooftop swimming pool in the heart of Melbourne. Nerio & Alexina were very helpful and gave us some excellent restaurant recommendations. ”
“Great stay in this apartment and location was perfect , great communication from Nerio , thank you Nerio”
“Nerio's place is Melbourne was fantastic, you have the view of Hyde Park from the living room. It is right next to restaurant row.”
“Had a great stay in this apartment ... it’s ideally located close to CBD for any activity. Host was a great communicator & we highly recommend this property!”
“Nerio and Alexina are very kind hosts who offered to exchange with us at the last minute so we could be in Melbourne for our son's surgery. Thank you both so much, we are so grateful. Their apartment is superb, wonderfully equipped and perfect for a city visit with everything you could need for comfort and enjoyment, and the most gorgeous views imaginable.”
“A great central city apartment perfect for a city stay! Being able to walk to the Melbourne central train station was just fabulous. We had a lovely stay. ”
“What a fabulous place! It’s tempting to liken the experience to staying in an upper east side apartment overlooking Central Park but the comparison to New York isn’t necessary because it is already in a fabulous part of Melbourne - great views over Fitzroy gardens and with some of the city’s best restaurants downstairs on Flinders lane. Interior is lush and a rooftop pool as well. Nerio was a delight to deal. A wonderful experience all round”
“Nerio's place was amazing. It is so central, with stunning views across towards the MCG, with easy access to everything that is Melbourne. It was perfect for my few night stay in Melbourne to catch up with my son. Theatres, the MCG, cinemas and fantastic restaurants all within a easy walk. Nerio is such a kind and generous person. You can't go wrong with this central Melbourne property.”
“Wonderful host and comfortable flat. ”
“We found the location was excellent, away from the noise of inner CBDs but close to all theatres, restaurants, public transport etc. Lovely view from the apartment of the treasury gardens. Nerios communication was excellent and his son was very helpful on arrival. Thanks Nerio for sharing your beautiful apartment with us.”
“A really excellent apartment in a great location right in the centre of the city with access to all the restaurants and shops. Fantastic views and a great rooftop pool when the weather is fine. Owners were super accommodating and made you feel very at home. Everything you could need. A perfect city base.”
“This property is ideally located to the Melb sporting precinct & CBD ... requiring a short 15min walk to the MCG & Rod laver arena & only 10mins walk to Federation square & Flinders St station. The apartment & facilities exceeded Nerio's description & coupled with her communication skills ensured out short stay went hassle free allowing us to enjoy concerts & AFL footy! THX Nerio for a wonderful stay!”
