Lasanthi and her husband Nissanka are amazing hosts, and I was blown away by their hospitality. When I arrived from the airport in the afternoon and mentioned that I had not had lunch, she immediately made me a grilled cheese sandwich to eat before I settle in. The bedroom and bath (for my personal use) were immaculate and very comfortable. I was made a hot breakfast every morning and Lasanthi even catered to the needs of my rather sensitive stomach. I was given a great deal of privacy even as my stay was peppered with friendly conversations with them which I thoroughly enjoyed.
The location of their house is in a lovely neighbourhood just 10 min walk away from a supermarket, restaurants and shops. The bus into the CBD stops almost right in front of the house, and there are gorgeous green spaces and parks just a short walk away.
Lasanthi and Nissanka’s warmth and generosity have made my stay in Melbourne incredibly memorable and I loved having a home to come back to at the end of each day. I would definitely stay here again!
