"Staying on the 51st floor of Melbourne Square was an unforgettable experience. The views of the Melbourne skyline and bay both morning and night are truly breathtaking. The apartment is brand new, spotless, and furnished with high-end luxury details. Having Woolworths right downstairs was unbelievable convenient for grabbing groceries and breakfast. Host was exceptionally welcoming and attentive. 10/10!"

"Top tier Melbourne accommodation! You are literally 3 minutes walk to Crown Casino, Southbank restaurants, and the river. The Level 54 indoor pool is something out of a 6-star resort. The apartment itself has the most comfortable beds, sparkling clean bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Will definitely stay here again every time we come to Melbourne."

"Absolutely outstanding stay — without a doubt one of the best Airbnb experiences my family and I have ever had in Australia. The apartment is located on the 39th floor above the Ritz-Carlton in Melbourne CBD, and the views were breathtaking both day and night. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the CBD, yet the apartment still felt peaceful, private, and luxurious. The furniture and interior quality were exceptional, comfortable, and very well maintained. The apartment was also extremely clean and had absolutely everything we needed: free secure parking, tea and coffee, coffee machine, washer and dryer, fully equipped kitchen, and all the small details that made the stay perfect for a family. What truly made this stay special was the host. He was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful from the moment we arrived. He even prepared treats and snacks for my kids. He also recommended great places to visit around Melbourne. Thank you for making our Melbourne trip unforgettable"

The famous croissant shop Lune is downstairs. The host was very friendly and responded to messages very quickly. The view outside the window is very beautiful.

"The building is very modern, located on a main thoroughfare with numerous shopping malls. There are many restaurants nearby, so it's convenient whether you're cooking in the apartment or eating out. The only drawback was that there was a heating malfunction on the first day. Fortunately, the host dealt with it quickly, and the next day, they even delivered a brand-new heater as an emergency measure."

Perfect location to get to wherever you need to go, with awesome food and coffee right under your feet - literally. I totally recommend staying here. One note to self, there in no free parking with this unit if this applys to you."

"We had a great stay and would definitely recommend this apartment. The host was very proactive, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. The apartment was exactly as described, and we loved the amenities and the building itself. The location was excellent, with easy access to public transport and within Melbourne's Free Tram Zone, which made getting around very convenient. The washing machine, dryer, and heater all worked perfectly, which made our stay very enjoyable. The beds were very comfortable, and the towels and linen were all clean and fresh. The only minor thing we noticed was that the kitchen could have been a little fresher, as there were a few oil splatters on the wall near the stovetop and a slight cooking smell. It didn't affect our stay at all. Overall, everything else was excellent, and we would happily stay here again."

"My family and I stayed for more than a week and it was definitely worth every penny. One thing I want to note is when it’s windy, it can be loud outside, but I suppose that’s to be expected with any high rise building. I definitely won’t hesitate to recommend the place and plan to book with the host again when we go back to Australia. Also a plus, host is extremely responsive and accommodating."
