Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Essendon

Loved my stay here! The apartment was super clean, beautifully decorated, and felt really welcoming. The host was very proactive and easy to communicate with, which made everything so smooth. The location was perfect too as its in a lively area with heaps to do and so many options for places to eat. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Would 100% stay again!

We had a great stay. The apartment was well located to attend an event at Melbourne Showgrounds. Pemmy was responsive, and the flexible check in was very much appreciated!

Firstly, the photos do not do it justice. The location is amazing, and the interior design of the airbnb is cosy and a vibe. Helen and Amy were extremely responsive and accommodating to our arrival time and helped make sure check in went smoothly. The airbnb itself was well stocked, above what was expected, it's like every little thing had been thought out. We definitely thought it was worth the price we paid and would stay again! Thanks Helen and Amy!

Vickie was super responsive, outside of office hours she responds almost immediately. I appreciate how the check-in hours were flexible. The place was tidy, and cosy. View was great. It might get hot in the summer as the windows get direct sunlight, however the apartment has roller blinds. If there was one thing I would point out was that the Skybus bus stop is not near at all, it is quite far away, and at the end of the trip you might have to call for an uber to help with the transporting of your luggage. However, if you travel light, then it is just merely taking 2 trams or about 20-30min walk, depending on how fast you walk.

Susie’s apartment was amazing !!to say the least It was really clean and exactly matching the photos and description given With an amazing gallery and of course the icing on the cake was the goodies kept like fruits breads different types of tea/coffee water bottles and what not. The location was as described with an easy 5 minutes walk to the tram/railway/bus station. To take u to the city centre in 10/15 minutes. Beautiful riverside walk nearby. Susie was a very easygoing and a lovely lady Would love to stay again

Had a great stay at Michelle’s place! The location was excellent, and the space was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed. Host communication was excellent. Would definitely recommend! :)

Great stay, very well situated in the city. Lovely views and perfect for a city break

Beautiful apartment with great amenities. It was challenging to locate the place initially with 3 towers close to each other but got around it with the help of the shop staff nearby. As it’s close to the train and police stations, traffic sounds were audible at night. Else an amazing apartment with great furnishings that’s near the central area.

Andrew was the perfect host - he was super helpful, responsive and offered to stay up late in case I had issues getting in, given my late arrival time. Communication was great and very open to helping where possible. The apartment itself was lovely and views were fantastic being on the top floor. You could still hear a lot of the traffic and trams however so perhaps bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper but otherwise not a big deal, just one of the things about being in an urban area. I was there for work so was a very quick stay but it was a close walk for where I needed to be which was great, thanks for having me Andrew and being a fantastic host!

Its an apartment with a magnificent view across Melbourne, right next to the incredible Victoria Market and the thumping heart of the centre of the city. Yet it is peaceful and quiet. The pool is long and lovely and there is a gym too. Selina was wonderful and responsive. Would definitely come back if I visited Melbourne again.

I was the perfect place to stay for a couple of nights. The check in is super easy and the apartment is exactly as described. Would recommend to anyone who wants to stay in Melbourne central area.

The stay at David’s place was amazing! The flat was very clean and tidy, with abundant amenities. The view is breathtaking and exceptional, viewing the landscapes of melbourne with beautiful glass windows. David is also friendly and nice, tried his best to accommodate our needs and requests. Overall the stay has been superb!

Great apartment for a weekend in Melbourne! Very spacious and spectacular views. Aster was a great host

We had a great stay. Everything was as described, very clean, we had everything we needed, the hosts were incredibly responsive and we were very comfortable.

Vincent's place was great for our girls birthday weekend. The place was lovely and clean and in the perfect position to see Melbourne city.

Excellent location with breathtaking views and a warm, welcoming host. Peter greeted us personally on arrival and was very flexible with both check-in and check-out timings, which made our stay even more convenient. The apartment was clean, exactly as pictured, and within easy walking distance to great restaurants and major Melbourne attractions. Highly recommended!

Gresilda’s place was perfect for our ten day stay. It had everything required and more!! Thank you so much for hosting us and your generosity Gresilda.

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. Rachel and Young were very responsive and accommodating for our needs. We had a great experience.

The property is a great deal and value for money. Although the location might be a bit distant from the city central - the quality of the home, cleanliness, easy access and cost is perfect value. The property managers are very easy to reach out to, responsive and attentive to our queries to its littlest detail. Yes, we are happy to recommend and will definitely come back again.

We had a lovely stay at this spacious home!! It’s also the perfect location with a quick walk to the train station. Jennifer was an amazing host and easy to contact for anything. I would highly recommend this place if you need a house with lots of room for a very comfortable stay😊

We’re so grateful to have had Nicola as our host. She was incredibly warm, kind, and responsive throughout our stay. When we had a small ant issue (thanks to Melbourne’s wet weather, not the house!) she came over right away with spray - and the ants disappeared overnight. She also thoughtfully left us milk, snacks, and later brought extra blankets for comfort. Every gesture showed how much she cared. Her home was absolutely stunning - full of character, charm, and warmth. Every corner felt intentional, with beautiful decor and trinkets that reflected her love for travel and culture. There was even a play area upstairs that our kids loved! The house had everything we needed and was conveniently located near shops. We truly adored both the home and Nicola. She made our trip feel so special, and we left feeling incredibly thankful for the experience. Thank you Nicola! ❤️

We had a wonderful few days at Tanja’s place. We were welcomed by a warm toasty fire. The house was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. Diane was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

We had a fantastic stay! The apartment was very spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed. located right on the main street which made it super convenient for getting around, the space itself was very comfortable and relaxing. The host Alan was absolutely wonderful. Communication was prompt, clear, and super helpful throughout our entire stay. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

We had a wonderful three-night stay with our family! The property exceeded our expectations, and here’s why: 📍 Location: Easy to find by car, peaceful surroundings, and hassle-free parking. 🛏️ Rooms: All three bedrooms had incredibly comfortable large beds—we all slept wonderfully! 🛋️ Living Room: The pre-warmed heating was such a thoughtful touch, and the huge TV made movie nights feel like a home theater—perfect for family time. 🍳 Kitchen: Fully equipped with everything we needed, plus generous supplies of condiments and drinks. 🚿 Bathroom: Well-stocked with toiletries, and the washer/dryer combo was super convenient. Our kids especially loved the long hallway—a fun and unique feature compared to our own home! Thank you for your warm hospitality—you’ve made our trip to Australia truly memorable. We’d love to stay again! Highly recommended.
