Styled With Character

Every apartment has its own look and feel. We furnish and style each one from scratch, so no two stays are the same. You get a space that actually feels like somewhere worth being, not a copy-paste rental.

Meet your host

Hi, I’m I’m Hugo. I moved to Melbourne from England over five years ago and fell in love with this city. I started Artist Abodes because I wanted to give guests somewhere that actually feels good to stay, not just a bed for the night.

I manage every property personally. When you message, you are talking to me, not a call centre. I care about getting the details right, and I am always nearby if you need anything during your stay.
