Apartment in Fitzroy

Spacious Modern Apartment in the Heart of Fitzroy

BelindaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Fabulous location surrounded by great cafes, restaurants and an easy walk to Gertrude and Smith Streets. This is not my first stay at Keoma and it won’t be my last. It’s a great spot for a family to hangout while exploring Melbourne, especially if you love walking the streets and soaking up the atmosphere. The accommodation is clean and spacious, hosts are responsive and the heating in each of the rooms meant we stayed warm over a wet and cold weekend. The hosts respond quickly to questions and requests. We will definitely be back.

This was my second time staying here because it is such great accommodation with everything need for a comfortable stay. A beautiful, clean and homely unit in a great location between St Kilda beach and Albert Park lake. A short walk to the restaurants and attractions of St Kilda, and a quick tram ride into the city. Melissa is a wonderful host, friendly and always helpful. I'm looking forward to staying here again 😊

The Garden Studio - stylish private oasis

PJRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My friend and I had an absolutely lovely stay at Christine and Kevin's beautiful garden studio. Christine made us feel right at home in the space with her kind welcome and clear instructions. The studio is a gorgeous self-contained space with all the amenities you could possibly need. There are multiple tram lines nearby and the area was great for walking. This wonderful, private space was a really safe home base for a busy girls trip!

Stunning Executive South Yarra 1 B/R Queen Bed

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was our second stay with Ben and Murray. The location is amazing, the apartment is clean, and quiet, even though you’re so close to the bustle of South Yarra. We always have such a good night’s sleep! Ben and Murray are helpful and respond very quickly to any communication, and we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else when we visit Melbourne.

Bright Acland St top-floor studio with balcony

AviRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Perfect little studio in the heart of St Kilda- but on a nice quiet residential street so a good night sleep is guaranteed! There’s even a quaint little balcony where you can see the ocean and city. We were blessed with perfect weather for our Melbourne weekend and loved the convenience to be able to walk to everything in St Kilda or hop an easy tram to the city: definitely recommend !

Luxurious 1 Bed Penthouse with Hot Tub

PardeepRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Chante was an absolutely amazing host, The Penthouse was squeaky clean, Kitchen was beautiful and had all you need - Coffee/milk/sugar/coffe machine all the cutlery you might need. The spa is amazing, the bed and couch are super comfortable, and Chante was kind enough to allow us an early check-in upon request. She was very responsive and friendly as well , would absolutely recommend this place, The only thing you might find a bit odd is the smell due to the spa being in the open but use the Exhause fan on top of the spa that helps alot, My only recommendation would be adding some sort of Air-freshner, Other than that this place was absolutely Fantastic. 💯
