Vakantiewoningen met open haard in Balaclava

Our 2 month stay was really great experience. Sharon is very responsible and has a lot of good advice on places to visit. The house is clean and the garden is lovely. It's fully equipped, which makes life much easier. The only inconvenient is the noise of the traffic in front of the house, especially in the front bedroom, as we were not used to city environments.

Such an amazing Airbnb, loved the location. The park across the road was perfect for our 2 kids! Easy walk to the markets and the 96 tram into the city. We felt right at home here, we are at a point with our children that high rise apartments do not fit our needs. This house was spacious and clean. We loved our time in the hot evenings outside in the courtyard together with family.

Saeed's property was as described. Inside the house, there was ample space to relax and unwind. The house was clean and tidy and the BBQ was prepped and ready for use. The pool area was also clean and easy to access. The internal central heating worked really quickly when the night became cold. The house was set up with a swing, hammock, fooseball table as well as a few other games. Saeed was a helpful and responsive host, willing to accommodate us. I would mention that it is one large house on the property, separating guests from Saeed's family by an internal locked door (so noise could be heard from the other side of the door). The pool can also be seen from the entire house, so if you wanted privacy, this is probably not the accommodation for you.

This is the second time staying at this property and I absolutely love it. Michelle's property it always spotless and the surroundings are beautiful. Thank you Michelle for always accommodating.

Thank you Anna for sharing your interesting, fabulous, , iconic home. It was very large and comfortable with extensive crockery, cutlery and glassware, bed linen and towels. Exceptionally well equipped. We loved living in the 70’s and the beautiful outdoor area and pool was a bonus. My UK visiting cousins and I had a very relaxed and enjoyable time together in this lovely home and the area is great for the beach and the many Sandy cafes and restaurants, and of course the station.

We enjoyed our stay. The property is in a good position a short walk to the sea front with restaurants , bars etc and also the shopping area . The bus stop is just a few minutes away and connects to the train station for easy access into the city. We enjoyed the outside courtyard which was a peaceful place to relax. The owners contacted shortly after our arrival to see if everything was ok and replied quickly to any e mails.

Sandy and Peter were lovely and friendly. It was so comfortable and they made you feel you could call on them or hang with them in the communal area or completely keep to yourself. No pressure. Amenities were plentiful and bed was clean, crisp and so comfy. We had such a relaxing stay thanks to Peter and Sandy's hospitality. And such a bargain. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for letting me and my family stay at your beautiful air bnb was totally worth the trip from sydney to Melbourne loved the pool and the clean bathrooms and bedrooms definitely recommend 👌 thanks again Nicolas stay Blessed 🙌

Great location, easy walking distance to everything. Living space was good size for us as a couple with a toddler, might have been stretched to comfortably fit another couple. Helen and Eric were very quick to respond to messages sent which made for a relaxing time away. Would definitely stay again when visiting Melbourne.

Gorgeous old building with plenty of character in the perfect location for the international garden show! Karen’s studio has a great view of Carlton Gardens, is beautiful, restful with lovely breezes, and sooo many restaurants nearby (only a 5 minute stroll to Lygon street). A lovely cosy place to come home to. We had a wonderful visit, thank you!

Michelle thoroughly deserves her 5 star rating. The apartment is beautifully appointed with lovely furnishings and great attention to detail. The balcony was awesome - lovely to relax on amongst the trees. Location was excellent- easy to walk everywhere and close to public transport, restaurants and gardens. Can’t recommend highly enough

Catherine and Rod’s communication was amazing! So helpful and friendly and responded straight away to any questions. We loved our stay and would absolutely recommend staying here. Can’t wait to come back 😊

Very happy with this host and can’t thank you enough for the last min booking. Would definitely stay again

Peter was an amazing host from start to finish. He was extremely responsive any time we had a question, he replied almost instantly with helpful and clear answers. It really made the whole experience feel smooth and stress-free. He offered us a late checkout, which was greatly appreciated! The apartment itself great, the view of the city from the windows was stunning. The location was super convenient everything we needed was close by, from cafes and restaurants to shops and public transport Thanks so much for being a great host!

We loved our stay at Howard’s End and would definitely stay there again. The flat is nice and private, so much so that we never had to pull the curtains, and the location is great - really good public transport options nearby. Emily is a friendly and responsive host and the butter, milk and fabulous coffee supplies were much appreciated. It is over the river from a major road, so can be noisy. It never bothered me, but Pete used earplugs to sleep.

Very happy with our stay. Reuben was very accommodating and an excellent communicator. The home was as described in the listing. We would definitely come back and recommend to friends :-)

Host was so friendly and helpful, really went out of her way to accommodate us and was so easy to deal with her. Absolutely stunning home too

had a great Christmas! thanks so much for having us. The house was massive, clean and fairly well equipped, could do with some more cooking trays and pots and pans but otherwise very good.

We had a great weekend away at Chelos place located in a nice historic part of Richmond within walking distance of everything. Accomodation was cosy and Hosts are fun to chat to and very helpful. Chelo is also a good source of knowledge for anybody interested in European fashion design !

Peter was very accommodating to us as we have had a late check-in at around 8:30PM. He was kind, hospitable, and his place is great!

Wonderful central property for family group to stay in. Very comfortable and homely for all ages. Encouraged informal catch ups in spacious areas available. Easy to get around with car spaces plus very close to public transport. Brenda was responsive and helpful.

We absolutely loved staying at Mark’s fantastic house! It’s a beautiful property, and larger than it seems in the photos. It’s also very well equipped, and with the crazy Melbourne weather kept us warm with the heating and cool with the aircon. Our pup really enjoyed her time there, too! The pool is also fantastic, and the decked area great for chilling out. We would love to stay again in future!

Absolutely loved my stay here! The place is super lovely, clean, cozy, and feels just like home. Everything was neat and well taken care of and Chelo is so warm, welcoming, and always happy to help. Felt like staying with friends rather than just booking a place. Plus, their dog, Carla is the cutest! She made the stay even more special. I'll miss you Carla :) The house itself is tidy and comfortable, perfect for a relaxing stay. Would 100% come back. Highly recommend!
