Fantastic warehouse apartment in funky Collingwood

Superb penthouse apartment just step away from Smith Street’s funky bars, restaurants and Messina gelato (couldn’t not mention that!!!). City-bound tram service in close proximity, and a mass of coffee shops on the doorstep – Oxford St apartment was in a cracking location. Communication with Chris was always very, very prompt and the check-in service with Bienvenue was very convenient and most appreciated after a long-haul flight. The apartment was equipped with everything you could ever need, and outside decks on both levels were very relaxing spaces. Would definitely recommend staying here for those heading to Melbourne.

As this gorgeous apartment is newly listed with StayCentral, I am very pleased that we got it right for you. It is indeed a stunning penthouse, and the location is brilliant indeed. I hope that we do see you again. In case you didn't know, we have 26 different locations around inner Melbourne, so there is plenty of scope for variety. I look forward to assisting you next time.

Beautiful space and location

Excellent location in the middle of shops, cafes, restaurants and public transport. With lots of space, it is a bright modern and well designed place that feels like a home very quickly. The kitchen is full of thoughtful additions that made cooking very easy (although its worth eating out for the number of excellent restaurants nearby). Check in and communication were very easy, would certainly recommend!

Superb location when you want to feel like a local

This place got everything you need to feel at home. It has a fully equipped kitchen which is handy when you have kids and don't feel like eating out (although there is enough choice close by so you would never have to cook). Here you can feel like a local when you are sipping your coffee while still having access to all the great things Melbourne has to offer. The CBD is just a short train ride away and for us with kids it was easy to get to the Melbourne Museum (great kids gallery) and the Collingwood Childrens Farm. The apartment is really spacious and light. Enough said, I wish I could live here myself.

Thanks for taking the time for your review Maria. I'm so pleased that you and your kids enjoyed everything so much. It really is a brilliant location for things nearby as well as other venues anywhere around Melbourne. As you said though, the apartment itself is not only spacious and light; it has two large, sunlit decks which double the amount of living area in the property. I hope you return again, as we have installed a fantastic large rainforest shower head, but there will also be a new outdoor setting on the upper deck to make the most of the amazing penthouse aspect. If you would like to try somewhere else for a change of scene though, we have 26 different locations around inner Melbourne, so there is plenty of scope for variety. I look forward to assisting you next time. Regards, Chris McDonald, StayCentral Melbourne Corporate Apartments.

Perfect Location

It’s a brilliant apartment. Perfectly situated in the best neighborhood in Melbourne - restaurants and coffee shops galore and a great vibe. The place has two outdoor patios - one on each floor, and tons of natural light. It’s cosy and also bright and very welcoming and doesn’t feel like a personality- less corporate apartment. I was very happy here while I was working in Melbourne and would definitely stay again.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review Emily. Apart from the excellent location, close to everything as you said, it does have it's own personality. The owner is from Scandinavia, and has furnished it in a similar manner to her homeland; and included a lot of furniture that was brought over here with her family. I do hope that we see you or your friends again. If you would like to try somewhere else for a change of scene, we have nearly 30 different locations around inner Melbourne, with more than 600 reviews at 4.9 Stars, so there is plenty of reasons to 'StayCentral' and lots of scope for variety. I look forward to assisting you next time. Regards, Chris McDonald, StayCentral Melbourne Serviced Apartments.

A perfect base for exploring Melbourne

The location of this apartment is perfect, just a few tram stops from the CDB but there are even more hip cafés and groovy bars in this neighbourhood. I have previously stayed in the Melbourne CBD in a serviced apartment but this place is superior. Fully equipped kitchen, amazing natural light, large bedrooms and living area. My 4yo son especially liked the outdoor spaces and how you can look at people below from the upstairs balcony. I would definitely stay here again.

Highly recommended

Wonderful, comfortable apartment containing everything I needed for a great stay. Large, light filled, and fantastic outdoor area - unique. Everything as advertised. Great communication before and during the stay. The area is one of the best in Melbourne. So much to do at Smith Street which is only metres away. I recommend it highly.

Thank you for your review Justin. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed both the apartment and the location. The Oxford St penthouse has been highly popular; even throughout the pandemic. It is partly due to the small number of people in this converted warehouse. I do hope that we see you again, with your returning-guest discount. We have more than 1,000 reviews at 4.9 Stars at StayCentral, so there are plenty of reasons to 'StayCentral'.

Collingwood apartment

We were extremely happy with the accommodation and would be very pleased to recommend it. The location alone was fabulous- we were able to enjoy all that we wanted to see / experience in Melbourne without any difficulty. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, although there were many stairs to navigate . Quick and reliable communication made our stay easy. Overall we loved our time at your apartment and would return again without hesitation.

Thanks for your review Sue. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay so much. In your Private Feedback you also said "Apart from that we were very glad to have quick and reliable communication with your office which made our stay easy. All the inclusions in the apartment were appreciated too- such as books, various kitchen utensils, washer/ dryer and comfortable furniture. The outdoor areas were great when the weather was as wonderful as we experienced." I'm sharing this because nobody sees the great comments that our guests leave in Private Feedback.___ I do hope that we see you again, with your returning-guest discount when you book with StayCentral. You are welcome to return here, but if you would like to try somewhere else for a change of scene, we have more than 20 different locations around inner Melbourne, with more than 1,000 reviews at 4.9 Stars, so there are plenty of reasons to 'StayCentral' and lots of scope for variety.
