To start with Simon is gem of a person, he picked us from Ascot Vale as we lost the way a bit. His house is well decked up, all minor things are taken care with great details. The house was not less than a personal hotel, spotless and cozy. Location is great just 3 mins walk to tram line which takes you to Footscray station. My children loved the openness and freedom around. Kitchen has all amenities you need, no complains whatsoever. Neighbours are great as well, we gelled with them easily. If his home is available for booking, blindly book it without a second thought, you won't regret. I firstly booked a house near Abotsford and the host(Victor) didn't turned up during check-in time, to be honest it was somewhat cheaper, but turned painful. Simon agreed to accommodate us in no time and we are very thankful for that. Bottom line you might see cheaper options but be very careful with host and go through the reviews, I ignored thinking it's obvious. Hence sharing my views here. Good wishes to Simon, cheers.
