About this property

Northcote Charm: Spacious and Quiet Suburban Stay

Located in the charming suburb of Northcote on a peaceful, tree-lined street, this apartment offers a laid-back stay just minutes from High Street, where you can browse local boutiques and vibrant cafés, or catch a film at Palace Westgarth Cinemas. With Dennis Train Station only a short walk away, you’ll have quick access to the CBD, the MCG, Hisense Arena and Melbourne Park. With split-cycle climate control and secure parking, this is a convenient base for your Melbourne visit.
This one-bedroom apartment for two offers a no-fuss stay with all the essentials for a convenient stay in Melbourne. Enter through a shared courtyard and step into a practical living area where you can rest your feet, read a book or watch a bit of TV after a day out.

Prepare simple meals in the classic kitchen, complete with a gas stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee plunger and fridge. Brew a morning coffee, gather around the timber dining table for a relaxed meal, or catch up on emails in a quiet corner.

Drift off in a peaceful bedroom fitted with two single beds placed side-by-side—you are welcome to push them together if preferred (note: these are not pre-configured as a king). Block-out blinds help ensure a restful sleep, and built-in wardrobes offer space to unpack and settle in. Refresh in the minimalist bathroom featuring a shower over bath, mirrored cabinet, and under-sink storage. Keep things fresh with a private washer and drying rack during longer stays.

Enjoy the convenience of secure parking for one car, Wi-Fi, air-conditioning with split-cycle cooling and heating (to be installed on the 14th of May), and portable heaters for each room.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.

Sorry, this home is not suitable for infants.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

Dirty, smelly, uncomfortable - and not a Stayz booking anyway - it's a third or even fourth party's

I booked this very last minute through Stayz (or what I thought was Stayz) - the property looked fine from the photos and descriptionOnce booked I started getting emails from VRBO and HomeTime, I had no idea who those companies were but referenced the same property. None of the emails ever came from the property owner themself.The check in was explanation was overcomplicated - and you almost need 3 hands to unlock both locks and turn the door handle to get in the unit's door (after going up a few steps to the foyer door which also requires two hands to use the key and turn the handle then hold the door with your foot so that it doesn't slam behind you.The moment I walked in the door I was met by a terrible smell - it was unclean, musty, grimy, the skirting boards were covered in dust and grime, there were smears on the couch when when I sat down on the extremely uncomfortable couch and the "dining room table and chairs" were just flmsy outsoor wooden fold out things which wobbled and squeaked when I set up my laptop to use. They did not put the two single beds together as requested, and when i asked for early check in was told no, the cleaners will still be there. When I arrived at 2.45 there was no cleaners and definitely no signs of anything freshly clean. I called Stayz which went to the VRBO in the Phillippines and spent over two hours being told that there was nothing wrong with the unit and I can't leave and get my money back. The whole stay was AWFUL.
