Communication with Kevin was just perfect. He answered my emails within minutes.
The house is on Chapel Street and easy to find and access via codes. We took a taxi from Southern Cross Station, which was 18$ I think. Location is fantastic, tram stop right in front of the door and lots of amazing Cafés and restaurants in the area. Try Fonda Mexican, Darling Café and Tall Timber Café! We absolutely loved Prahran Market, which is just around the corner. Lovely place to have breakfast or buy bread, cheeses, fruit and veggies, kombucha, dips, etc. for a picnic.
The room is a lot smaller than it appears on the photos. We were very lucky that we shared one big piece of luggage, there would not have been space for a second one. The room is on the first floor and the walls are thin which means you can hear most of the guests coming in over the day. At least the ones that have not learned how to respect other guests when coming home in the middle of the night, screaming and laughing. Or the ones pulling their luggage down the stairs at 5am in the morning.
When we entered the room the bed was made and looked comfy. However, there was dust everywhere. On the blankets, the floor, on the lamps next to the bed plus sticky fingerprints on the transparent chairs and the desk. Hair in the shower. I mentioned it to Kevin who apologized and told me that the cleaning team would come in again on the next day.
Somebody did in fact come in but not much has changed. Instead we suddenly had crockery and tea bags in the kitchen.
We liked that everything seemed to be renovated and new, however the design of the bathroom had not been thought through. No hangers for towels next to the sink, no place for the soap. No shelves for toiletries.
Other that that, we enjoyed the location and easy communication with Kevin! Thank you!
