James' house is the perfect base from which to enjoy Melbourne and any of the major sporting events that it has to offer. The house itself is well maintained and decorated and also has everything that you'll need. The group of 7 of us that stayed found it an easy free tram or taxi to the Australian Open. There are also plenty of great cafes nearby for breakfast and Albert Park and St Kilda Beach if you have the energy for a bit of exercise and scenery in the morning. James was also very easy to deal with and accommodated a few last minute requests without any hassle. I'd highly recommend this house for any group or large family and will be looking it up when travelling with friends in the future.
