I enjoyed my stay at Vivian’s and Matthews. They are conveniently located, there is a 7/11 nearby for anything you’re missing, and for the most part the pictures accurately represent how your stay will be in their Airbnb. The room is lovely and cosy which I did enjoy, and as people the hosts were able to help me amend my booking when I needed to change my dates which was very kind.
However, there is a reason that I rated my experience as “okay”. This is that, upon entering the bnb, the room was lovely but the bathroom gave a weird impression of looking clean and dirty at the same time - but nothing can be perfect. This was until I saw the (what I believe to be) mould in the shower. I have pointed this out to them so hopefully it becomes sorted, but I had to buy another pair of shoes simply to have a shower after my very long flight here. To be honest, it put me off so significantly I would rather have not had a shower or gone to a friends until I moved To my next accommodation.
The kitchen I suppose is accurately depicted in the pictures - a little dark but again nothings perfect. I would say not to expect a fitted hob/ cooker in the kitchen, but they do provide one you can plug in (also the pictures do show this). They have a ton of kitchen amenities and I have no complaints in this department.
To be honest, I would recommend this Airbnb to someone if they *needed* to be in Toorak or nearby, OR if they were staying only for a couple of days. Otherwise, I have since moved to accommodation in the city for a similar price, which I personally would choose stay in again.
