Guest Testimonials

Thank you, Hometime! We really loved the property and had a wonderful stay. It is well suited for families visiting North Melbourne for football or festivities, and close to Royal Melbourne Hospital and Peter Mac - which was the purpose of our stay.

Vivienne

The location is superb being right in the middle of the city and next to beautiful parks, restaurants, theatres, museums and transportation. The apartment is small but super comfortable! It is full of light and very cosy due to exceptionally good decor.

Viktoria

Overall, a clean, secure and compact apartment. Situated in the Melbourne CBD, this apartment was close to Melbourne Central, shops and public transport options. The apartment also includes an enormous balcony with views of the street below.
