Our home is pest-free and we intend to keep it that way with your help. Remember to return all keys. Charges will apply for any unreturned keys. Upto $500 No noise, loud music, screaming, loud talking outside or inside anytime. Any breach of these rules may result in the loss of your deposit and the immediate cancellation of your booking. Please note that we have strict rules as this is a residential building and our personal property. While some of them may seem obvious to you, they are not so obvious to others and we therefore must have a strict policy regarding them. Common decency and respect for others' property is essentially all we're asking. We reserve the right to request a security deposit and / or a copy of photo ID.

Situated directly across from a gorgeous park, it was only a short walk to ANYTHING you might desire! We hit a different bakery every morning we were there! 😬 We were also within walking distance to the family members we were visiting, so we didn’t need to rent a car! The apartment itself was super clean and had everything we needed. The communication with Levi and Iman was top notch, and any questions I had were answered promptly. We would most DEFINITELY stay here ANY time we are able to visit Melbourne! ##### Susan W.
