Merlene's place is awesome, couldn't ask for more. Your own bathroom, ample wardrobe space and it's location is super ideal, less than 3 minutes walk to the tram stop or a beautiful 20 minutes walk by the botanical garden and NGV to the city. Marlene and her housemate Angela are lovely, made me feel at home right from the start. Highly recommend Marlene's place for those wanting a Melbourne or more specifically South Melbourne experience.
