Excellent value! The Stables was immaculate and exactly as described. The bungalow was comfortable and cozy. Top quality items throughout, from the bedding and linens to the very generous food items that far exceed what is required for a complete breakfast.
Everything in the stables was in proper working order (WIFI, heating, appliances, kitchen, etc) and communication prior to arrival and during stay was easy. Nick and Georgina were very responsive and literally a text message or door knock away.
The Stables felt very homey with separate bedroom (upstairs) and living area & well equipped kitchen (lower level). Tons of natural light and air. View to a beautiful maintained garden. We had independent entrance to the apartment which was nice. The neighborhood is great and provided for a very Australian experience. There are plenty of great restaurants nearby (Nick recommendations were fabulous). Something worth highlighting is public transportation: bus, train, tram are a short walk away. The train to the city is literally a 2 minute walk away. This allowed for easy access to the city (~20 min ride). Also, street parking was very easy. The location was perfect.
The toilet is in the lower level while bedroom is upstairs which wasn't ideal, but not a problem for us as there was proper lighting during the evening to go downstairs (sensor activated).
Georgina & Nick made our visit to Melbourne a very special one. They are caring and generous, and their apartment was the perfect choice for our visit. Our stay at the Stables was fantastic. We hope to visit again soon!
