Andrea was a warm and generous host, full of tips about local eateries and other helpful information. She turned up one day with a gift of home grown tomatoes and basil. Her home is cosy and beautifully appointed, and it is in a terrific location just around the corner from the buzz of Lygon Street and virtually next door to the tram stop. It's a short walk into the city centre. Being so close to everything means there's some street noise, which takes a little getting used to, but did not stop us from having a very enjoyable stay.
