We stayed in Kate's place almost 3 weeks in total, I believe, and extended our stay 3 times! One of the main reasons for doing so was, of course, Kate's amazing house! It is very well-equipped (we used to joke that the house with all its appliances and hi-tech equipment is smarter then us :)), everything you might need is there (everything for cooking and eating in too), the overall design is beautiful and those wooden floors - one can tell that the house was renovated with much love and care.
The neighbourhood is just beyond amazing. Just 5 min from CBD, very quiet, and just a step away from Errol street with great cafes and restaurants (do go to "Di Bella" and "Auction Rooms").
Kate is an an absolute delight of a host! Great communication, always ready to help with anything. Too bad we couldn't go with you to any of those concerts you invited us to - will definitely take you up on your offers next time we are in Melbourne!

All in all this place is highly recommendable, and we miss it dearly! Shall be back soon!
