We loved Megan's charming cottage in Ascot Vale! It was very well-equipped, clean and tidy, with loads of space for a group of 4 friends.
Besides being a short walking distance to the Showgrounds, it was also conveniently located to a train station, tram stop and shops. (I recommend a fantastic little cafe called Mama Bear Cafe.)
Megan was the perfect host, very communicative and understanding!
Would highly recommend this listing to anyone looking to stay in a quiet suburb that's not too far from the CBD.
