  • "I had a great time staying at Lou's place. It is a beautiful, very well furnished flat with a spectacular view over Melbourne. The surroundings are great and offer lots to do as well as easy transportation methods into the CBD. Lou is also a great host with lots of tips for your time in Melbourne. She has a great, friendly personality and will make you feel right at home. I unfortunately fell sick for a couple of days and she was very considerate and kindly supported me to get healthy again. Once you leave it feels like you have made a bunch of new friends (best neighbour!) and have experienced Melbourne from a side, that no hotel could ever offer you. Absolutely recommended."

  • "I had a fantastic 3-night stay at Lou's place. She was very helpful with all the details 2-3 days in advance so I felt confident arriving. Place is better than the photos with crisp sheets, powerful shower, and a lovely balcony for evening sunsets. Walk to the market and restaurants. Firebird was fab. No hesitation recommending the room share as a female traveling alone. Thanks Lou!"

  • “Lou's guest room has not only a fantastic view on Melbourne's skyline that I liked. I also liked the super comfortable bed, that made my sleep perfectly relaxed. Lou was absolutely reliable, friendly and welcoming host who was easy to talk to and to stay with. She even invited me to spend time with her and her family & friends over christmas. She really made my stay special in that wonderful city, that is worth exploring it. Her apartment is located in a vibrant and CBD close area with plenty of good restaurants and shops to stroll around. I would like to stay at Lou's place again.”

The moment I checked in, she accommodated for everything like time for me to unpack and had space for all my belongings in the bedroom, bathroom and even kitchen and fridge too!

  • "Lou is very friendly, and a great help, especially with getting a place to stay (for rent). I even met her friends and we went to a bar together on Sat. night. She is social and a gives great tips for everything to get settled in the city. The room and bathroom are clean and the apartment is very nice too. You get to sleep with the view of Melb's skyline, all for a cheap price. I recommend Lou to anyone, no doubt. I have no complaints, whatsoever."

  • "Lovely apartment in South Yarra area that had all the necessities that I needed. Really enjoyed my stay here that gave me a good resting space to come back to after a long day out of exploring around Melbourne Lou was a very chill and responsive host that checked in on me if I needed any help or suggestions of places to visit too Honestly was my first time staying with an Airbnb host and was glad to have chosen this place! Her apartment is about 10-15mins walk from nearby train stations and tram stations too One great plus point of her apartment is definitely the view from her balcony in which you could see the sunrise and sunset of the Melbourne CBD area Truly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend anyone to stay here if you're visiting Melbourne"

  • "Lou was an amazing host. Couldn't have asked for anyone better to end our trip with. The apartment was excellent, everything you need in it. The view from the balcony is stunning, really was a highlight. Lou is really friendly, told us some local spots to try out and was really helpful. We ended up having a drink on the balcony with Lou and her friend Simon which was really nice, although it led to one too many Would recommend Lou to anybody looking to stay in Melbourne, great host and loads of stuff to do nearby!"

    Sheung, February 2023

  • "Lou's apartment was exactly as described and looked in the pictures, with great views of the Melbourne skyline. It was clutter free and had plenty of pots, pans and cooking equipment in the kitchen. Lou was extremely responsive and hospitable during my stay. The location was one of the highlights - a few steps to the tram stop, walking distance to the train station and plenty of supermarkets, restaurants, bars and shops nearby. As it is just off Chapel street, there occasionally a tiny bit of noise from nearby restaurants and bars, but it wasn't an issue at all."

The appartment is super stylish but relaxing and homely with the most fantastic views of the city from the spacious balcony. The bedroom had everything to make you feel at home and the bed was super comfortable - slept like a log. All the amneties you could need were present - including a great host/friend. Staying with Lou is like staying with a friend - she is super welcoming and can give you the best tips for melbourne life with the dos and donts.

    Karen, June 2018

  • "I returned to Melbourne and decided to stay with Lou again. Always feel home in her cozy apartment. And again, Lou helped me as much as she can. I viewed the sunsets in quite a few places around Melbourne but I love the sunset from her balcony the best."

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Quyen, June 2013

  • "Lou's place is wonderful. The view is awesome, the room is beautiful and the location is absolutely spot on in an area close to the city centre but with an awesome vibe in its own right and as many amazing bars and restaurants as you could want. I actually share my boyfriend's Airbnb account and so was travelling solo through Australia at the time- Lou is a great person for people in that position to stay with in particular, she welcomed me with a gin and chats on the balcony to show me the view and we got on so well that we ended up going out in South Yarra for the evening- ask about the bar hidden behind a fridge in a takeaway shop in particular! Would really recommend!"

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Jacques, June 2018

  • "We loved staying at Lou's place. The location was perfect with many places to eat out within easy walking distance. We easily used public transport to go out one night and Lou organised for a taxi to pick us up at the end of the evening. We will definitely be back."

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Anjum, August 2017

  • "Lou was a fantastic host; she was accommodating and helped me in a number of ways. She gave detailed advice on getting around by public transport or by car, and has an extensive folder of compiled brochures and leaflets on places to visit in Melbourne, which comes in very handy. Her place is clean and tidy, and guests can make use of the various appliances. I returned to the apartment late at night quite a few times, and she was very gracious about it. There are a variety of shops around South Yarra, you'll find plenty of food, fashion, grooming stores, banking facilities, mobile phone service providers, etc., so the location of Lou's apartment is strategic. If you don't like the swarming crowds of people in the CBD, South Yarra is a good area to stay in."

Way more interesting than staying in a hotel on my own. Lou is very delightful and helpful. A great host to have a smooth and enjoyable experience. Amazing city views on the 9th floor! Either on the balcony outside or from my bedroom or lounge room. Chapel St buzzing with great restaurants/cafes, shops and people. Thank you again Lou"

The place itself is tucked away behind Chapel Street, secluded yet lively when you want it to be, so getting some sleep is not an issue. The apartment is spacious, clean and modern. The balcony offers a beautiful sunset whilst looking over the CBD. Lou is a fantastic host, she responded very quickly and explained everything we needed to know so we could have the best possible time. I will definitely stay at her apartment again!"

    Sharnee, March 2017

  • "Lou's apartment is in a great location near to Chapel Street in South Yarra with great transport options nearby. Communications with Lou were fast and she really kindly let me have a late check out which was much appreciated. Her apartment was super clean and has amazing views out over Melbourne. The bed was comfy and the towels fluffy! The only downside i can think of was that the room did get quite hot, even with keeping the blinds down, but I was in Melbourne when it was around 30 degrees each day so it was a very hot time of year. I would recommend Lou's apartment!"
