I absolutely loved this place, and would highly recommend everyone to be here. It's exactly as what Karen says and made even better with the many little touches she put in. Whether you're alone, a couple, or a family with kids, her Melbourne Pad is equipped to keep everyone occupied. There are picnic, beach, kids' items prepared and carefully labelled for your use.
The view itself is worth the stay.
Location is super convenient. Walkable to most places of interest - varies from 20 to 30 mins' walk. Otherwise, the tram is just one pedestrian crossing away! The IGA supermarket on the ground floor is always manned by lovely gentlemen, and opens till late.
If you arrive late, Karen has you covered for the first morning brekkie or late night snack. But hey, Melbourne has plenty of cafes and food delivery services.
The bed and couch is super comfy. The toiletries smell amazing, and are individually packed (remember to recycle them though).
All in all, Karen's personal touches to the place, and her thoughtfulness feels like a family member has set up the place for your holiday visit! :)
