Carol's place is just as described, we had a pleasant stay and thoroughly appreciated the kid friendliness as we were travelling with our infant and it was really helpful to have a high chair and bath tub provided. However we were abit dismayed by the lack of amenities when it came to shower gel and shampoo and the kitchen condiments since we did stay home and cook for a few nights. Having said that, the area was quiet and if you're looking to stay in Melbourne but not in the CBD, this is a good place to stay. We rented a car so it was no problem for us to get around. Carol is also quick to respond to our needs and when it came to check in and check out. Would definitely recommend carol's place especially if you're travelling with a baby.
