Melissa’s house was perfect - charming, warm, comfortable and a few mins walk from both Tram #19 and the train station to get into the city. The bedding and pillows were good quality and the towels were plush. Having that good coffee grinder (filled with beans) and machine to make a cup before heading out in the morning (to the great coffee shop she recommended) was a very nice touch you don’t find often in an AirBnB. And Melissa was a great host - quick to respond to questions and helpful with local tips and advice. Having grown up in Melbourne the house and surrounds made me nostalgic - stay here if you want a real Melbourne experience.
The street is lined with other quintessential sweet Melbourne cottages and it was easy to find a spot to park my car (which I then didn’t need for the rest of the stay - trams are so easy). There’s also a Post Office a few mins walk away if you need to buy your first Myki card for public transport too.
