“John's flat is in the best location in the heart of Melbourne. It's spacious, very well furnished and a pleasure to return to each afternoon. The kitchen, bathrooms and laundry are generously equipped. John made us feel very welcome and communicated really well. We had a most wonderful 5 nights and would love to swap with John and his family again. Many thanks John.”

John's reviews
As a host (7)“We loved this weekend. The apartment was terrific, literally in the centre of town, walking distance or tram stop away from the shopping malls, library, China town, art gallery, theatre , restaurants.. Quiet and wonderfully comfortable wth artistic decor and luxury beds and bathrooms, stocked beautifully for breakfast, interesting books and comfy big lounge.. John was s fabulous host who welcomed us and helped us with all arrival details and places to visit. Many, many thanks for a very memorable stay. Would love to come back. Katya and Barry”
“The central location was perfect for our 4 days exploring Melbourne. John & Jude were the perfect hosts ... very friendly & met us to handover keys & orientate us with the apartment. John was a great communicator leading up to our stay & the apartment is spacious & comfortable with all the mod cons expected. The beds were also very comfortable allowing us to get a good nights sleep. The building is very secure & serviced by a great lift. I’d imagine the balcony would also be a bonus during the summer time. THANK YOU for a wonderful experience ... highly recommended!”
“Fantastic apartment right in the heart of Melbourne yet on a quieter laneway. It's even nicer than in the photos, quite spacious, high ceilings, a real loft kind of feel. Very comfortable beds and great bathrooms. John and Jude were lovely to deal with, they checked in on us occasionally (by message) etc. The only slight issue we had is that we are both pretty light sleepers and given that you really are in the city centre, you do occasionally get woken up by people outside, by garbage trucks, by city noise. With earplugs I was fine, and you do have to weigh that up against the advantage of being right in the middle of everything. Would love to return one day.”
“We had an amazing stay at John and Judy’s Apartment, the location is so close to everything They had even left some supplies in the fridge for us... The Apartment is very large, you feel as if you are in a New York loft Apartment John is a really nice guy, his communications where fantastic, you could not have wished for more! We would definitely stay again and we would highly recommend the Apartment Carolyn and Nick (Sydney) ”
“John and Jude's flat was absolutely fantastic and in an incredibly central location to explore Melbourne. They also gave us a very warm welcome to show us around the flat and get settled in. All in all a perfect place for a long weekend in the city. Gill, Bill and family”
“John and Judy's apartment smack bang in the centre of Melbourne was fantastic. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. John and Judy met us at the apartment and took us through how things worked which was most kind. It was good to meet you both. The balcony was a bonus so we could sit out there taking in the sounds and smells of Melbourne. Our stay in the apartment was so enjoyable and provided us with a bolt hole after many family gatherings before and after a family wedding. It's easy to access and you can walk to anywhere from the apartment. We loved our stay there. Thank you. Would highly recommend this lovely place for a swap. ”
