Around every day
Our team is in the building daily — available to help with anything from a maintenance request to a local recommendation. Not always at a desk, but never far away.
Housekeeping
STAY guests (up to 28 nights) receive a weekly housekeeping service as standard. LIVE guests (29 nights or more) have a flexible, on-request housekeeping service. Both STAY and LIVE guests can arrange additional cleans at any time through the app at an additional cost.
Maintenance
Log any maintenance request through the app and our team will take care of it promptly.
24/7 Elli support
When the team isn’t onsite, Ella our AI concierge is available around the clock — and for anything that needs a human touch, our support team is just a message away.
Local knowledge included
The best coffee in Prahran, where to park, how to get to the CBD — our team knows it all and loves to share it.
No hidden costs. No nasty surprises.
Just clear, straightforward billing from day one.
No bond. No admin fees.
Unlike a traditional rental, there’s no four-week bond and no administration fees to get through the door. What you see is what you pay.
STAY — prepaid and simple
All STAY bookings (up to 28 nights) are prepaid at the time of booking. Arrive knowing everything is taken care of.
LIVE — billed two weeks in advance
For longer stays of 29 nights or more, billing runs two weeks in advance on a rolling basis — giving you clarity on what’s coming without the burden of a large upfront payment.
No lease. No lock-in.
Stay for as long as you need and extend whenever you like. No fixed-term lease, no early exit penalties.
