Excellent location
Great stay. Had a minor issue with a cleaner in the building taking our allocated parking spot which was an inconvenience as long term street parking in the area is an issue. Otherwise, a very comfortable and convenient stay. Will be back.

Fabulous Location
The property was located close to Lygon Street, walking distance shops/cafes/trams. The Apartment itself has everything and more that you need, very clean, maintained and quiet. My sister, mum and I stayed here and throughly enjoyed our time here together, was only a short trip but would definitely return with my family.

Perfect Place
The apartment lived up to all expectations - spacious, comfortable, modern, well-equipt and quiet on a lovely tree-lined street. Thought has gone into visitors' needs. Nothing was missing. The location is great, easy walking distance to trams to the city and Lygon Street's shops and restaurants. I would come back in a heartbeat. Thanks again.

We love Cosmo stays!
It was my family's first time in Melbourne and we really enjoyed our stay with Cosmo Stays. The apartment was clean and the perfect size for us. Carlton was a great area that is less busy that the downtown core but still within walking distance to the CBD. Checking in and out was a very easy process and the communication from Amanda was almost instant. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and will definitely come back to stay when we return to Melbourne.

Great, compact unit which was perfect for our stay. Garage was a big plus as parking is a nightmare in Carlton, and internal lit was a plus. Great location with Readings bookshop, the cinema, shopping and a Woolworths on your doorstep as well as great coffee and dining options. Easy tram access to the city, Vic Markets, MCG etc. The owner was really easy to deal with and there was a very relaxed feel to the whole process. Will definitely stay here on future trips to Melbourne.

Excellent property close to Lygon Street and the University
This is a new apartment. It was well furnished and appointed for our needs. It was only a 5 minute walk to a number of great restaurants on Lygon Street and a similar walk to the North end of the University of Melbourne. Although we didn't use the trams, there were stops close by as well. Everything was as the property owner indicated it would be and check in and check out was smooth and easy.

Modern, quiet, fully equipped, inner city apartment
I stayed here with a friend and our two teenage girls for the Taylor Swift concert. It was the perfect place for us with two bathrooms and a lovely balcony overlooking a quiet street in Carlton. It is a short walk to the heart of Lygon street and multiple transport options and walkable distance to the Queen Vic markets. It is very peaceful and comfortable, fitted out with everything you could possibly need, including a secure underground parking space. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a lovely, clean, modern, home away from home in Melbourne.

The property had everything that we needed for the 8 days we were in Melbourne and although it was a little daunting at the start, the tram system was within a comfortable walking distance from the apartment. The apartment was well presented on arrival with lovely clean, fresh linen and carpets. The 3 of us had a wonderful time. My only complaint would be the single beds were a little hard and could probably do with a mattress topper to soften them a bit. Because of our busy schedule and how tired we were at night, it didn't stop me sleeping but I did feel a bit sore by morning from the hardness.

Generally good
Great location and the place was clean and tidy. There was an electrical fault in the bathroom so the light was intermittent. Landlord said it couldn’t be repaired until we were about to check out. Also only one key. We asked for another one but there was not a spare. That was a bit hard to juggle.
