~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IMPORTANT UPDATE - NOTIFICATION OF WORKS - 26/06/23
Maribyrnong City Council has informed us of public park works that are set to take place near the building precinct. During this time, crews will be onsite weekdays from 7:00am-5:00pm with some weekend work also required. This would be mornings only from 8:00am-midday. Detours will be in place to support pedestrians and cyclists navigate through the area. There will also be some noise and dust, but contractors will do their best to minimise this. We appreciate your understanding and apologise for any inconveniences. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DIVERSE FOOTSCRAY! ONE OF MELBOURNE'S MOST EXCITING AND BEST-KEPT SECRETS.
Touted as one of Melbourne's most liveable suburbs, you'll discover a whole new part of this glorious city of ours. Add to the mix its excellent restaurants and bars, booming arts scene and diverse multicultural identify, and you've got all the makings of one of Melbourne's best places to be.
Driving to your apartment, you could be mistaken for thinking you've stepped into a sci-fi movie as you drive in and around concrete pillars, shipping containers, cranes, construction zones and all sorts of people looking busy doing important things! That's because Footscray is in the middle of a major transformation, developing what will be one of Melbourne's most exciting and desirable places to work, rest or play.
Whilst you may encounter some construction workers or a crane here and there on the way to your apartment, we guarantee that once you arrive, you'll feel like you've escaped into yet another world - a sanctuary with the world falling away and melting any stresses or worries you may have brought with you. Despite all the business, you will fast realise that the only thing on the menu is rest & relaxation if that's what you're after.
We truly look forward to welcoming you to EDGE where you can expect the unexpected and create unforgettable memories to take back home with you.
Let's check out your pad.

Melbourne has plenty of rags-to-riches tales when it comes to its neighbourhoods. Perhaps the most surprising turnaround has been at the foot of the West Gate Bridge.
The traditionally working-class Footscray long had a reputation for being one of Melbourne’s more unsavoury suburbs. However, a decade of investment and rapid development in the area has seen its fortunes change dramatically. Footscray is now regularly listed by experts as one of Melbourne’s most liveable suburbs — and it’s still relatively affordable. Add to the mix its excellent restaurants and bars, booming arts scene and diverse multicultural identity, and you’ve got all the makings of one of Melbourne’s best places to live.
LOCALS LOVE...
Footscray Market is, in many ways, the heart and soul of the suburb. The brutalist structure is a constant hive of activity, and offers an expansive range of fresh local produce, seafood, meat and Asian ingredients. Open from Tuesday to Saturday, the market is easily accessible by train, bus or tram.
The greater Footscray area is currently serviced by three train stations, as well as several bus and tram routes. Melbourne’s new public transport developments will see Footscray become the gateway to the west in the coming years, with a regular airport rail service cutting travel time to Tullamarine to 18 minutes and new services establishing easy connections to the regional hubs of Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AFFILIATION WITH RECEPTION & BUILDING CONCIERGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 》Where your property is located in a building with staff, please be advised that we are in no way affiliated with the operations of the building. Reception staff, building concierge and/or management will be unable to assist you with your booking in ANY capacity including baggage storage and key collection/drop off. Please contact us EXCLUSIVELY if you need to discuss your booking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HOW YOU WILL BE CHECKING IN (24/7) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 》Key Pickup from Key Exchange Service City of Melbourne has very strict laws about the use of lockboxes. To avoid the risk of you realising your lockbox has been cut off as has been experienced by past guests, we have arranged for you to collect your key from a nearby Key Exchange Service located (1)km from your apartment. This is a 3 minute drive or 14 minute walk. This ensures the most seamless arrival.
Please plan your arrival accordingly. Our guests generally choose to use Uber to collect the key and then continue on to the apartment. Uber is able to park outside the Key Exchange Service and wait for you.
NOTE: From time to time, there may be a change to this process for reasons outside our control e.g. road blocks, a sudden change in operating hours of the Key Exchange Service. This will be communicated to all affected guests in advance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SAME-DAY BOOKINGS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 》We have a booking lead time 1 day in order to schedule housekeeping & check-in requirements for the following day. For this reason, we cannot always guarantee a check-in time of 3pm for last-minute bookings, especially where there is a departing guest. Priority is given to guests who have booked in advance and need to be checked in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EARLY CHECK-IN REQUESTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 》We strongly advise you to plan around a 3pm check-in. When your place is ready, we will let you know. If you definitely require earlier access, consider booking the night before if available. Whilst we do our best to accommodate, please understand that, unlike hotels, we don't have a different room to give you. This means if a guest is checking out on the day of your arrival, housekeeping needs time to prepare everything and we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LATE CHECK-OUT REQUESTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 》May be possible depending on bookings and housekeeping schedules. Please contact us after 8pm the day before your departure to confirm. We will do our best to accommodate. If you require a check-out later than 12pm, an additional night will be charged and collected through the Airbnb Resolution Centre. This must be paid the night before check-out or housekeeping will be scheduled for 10am as per normal check-out time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PRIVATE SECURITY PATROL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 》We have a private security company that regularly patrols this property to ensure appropriate guest behavior.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ STARTER SUPPLIES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 》To manage expectations, we provide you with complimentary essential starter supplies for your stay. This includes shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toilet paper, and a few other items for your comfort. This is not intended to last for the duration of your booking but to avoid having to immediately head to the supermarket on arrival. If you'd like to add mid-stay services to your booking at any time, please let us know.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BABY EQUIPMENT FOR HIRE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 》For safety & hygiene reasons, we recommend our preferred Baby Hire companies for all your equipment needs during your stay. Please reach out for further information if required.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ APARTMENT WINDOW CLEANING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 》Window cleaning is the Owner's Corporation responsibility. They manage these services according to a set schedule. Unfortunately, we have no control over the state of the external windows at all and apologise in advance if you happen to book at a time where they are in a state that requires cleaning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AIRBNB SECURITY DEPOSIT HOLD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 》Airbnb automatically places an authorization hold on Security Deposits for all listings TWO DAYS PRIOR TO CHECK-IN. If Airbnb is unable to do this, you will be notified by email with the opportunity to try another payment method within 12 hours. After that, Airbnb will automatically cancel your reservation. For more information, contact Airbnb directly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OTHERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is a sensor inside the apartment. This is NOT a camera or recording device. It only collects information on noise levels, the environment (temperature and humidity) and occupancy (motion and the number of mobile devices in the vicinity). It does not record raw audio. The data is only presented as graphs and numbers, not images or recordings.
