Alice's place was located only 15 min from the airport and near a few parks which were perfect for our children (one just two blocks away). Ourchildren also enjoyed the play structure in the backyard and Billy the cat. Extremely comfortable with everything we needed to refresh after an international flight. Extremely economical and close to a nearby large shopping center which came in handy for groceries, clothes shopping, exchanging money. We also rented a car and were able to park our rental car in her driveway. Since we were outside of city, easy access to drive into Melbourne or head out for a day-trip!
