Gavin's place is an old home which at first sight seems a little daggy but is in fact fully functional and has a very pleasant, sharing atmosphere. Gavin was friendly and very accommodating while also being an unobtrusive host. The location is great, just one street back from High Street, Northcote with its hip shops and cafes. Our room was very comfortable and quiet and we quickly felt at home. It was also good value. I would happily stay here again if the occasion arose.
