We had a lovely few days staying in the studio apartment, which was beautiful clean and very well presented.
Great location just short walking distance to parks and shops along with the train station.
The host Amanda was very accommodating and nothing seemed too much trouble and made us feel very welcome.
Would stay again if in the area.
Amanda was a great host, very communicative and helpful. Provided us with a spare mattress which was really appreciated and gave us an option of an earlier check-in too. Space was really clean and had everything we needed. Good location, quiet and easy to find.
This little hideaway would be one of the best places I have stayed. It is bigger than it looks in the pics. Has absolutely everything you could need, the attention to detail and little gifts from the host were just so lovely. The linen was exceptional and the bedding was comfortable.The little deck was great and my fur baby loved it. It was quiet and private and the host was extremely helpful. Shops were close by and just a short drive to the centre of the dandenongs. Couldn’t recommend this stay enough! 10/10
