Pips place is perfect. It is a great place to have a room, settle in and get to know Melbourne. Pip is so nice one may question if he is genuine. I assure you, he is indeed genuine. I’m not used to people being so incredibly helpful, accommodating and full of excellent recommendations. Pip is a delight but also perfectly happy to give you complete privacy if that is what you are after. The space really is beautiful. The kitchen and living area are stunning and exactly as pictured. The deck is even better than the pictures show. He was up each day tending to the plants. I just can’t say enough about what a great host Pip is. The room is exactly as pictured. The bed was very comfortable. The wifi was excellent and communication was more than I could have asked for. I highly recommend to everyone and especially people new to Melbourne. Very close to transport and just… an amazing stay. THANK YOU PIP!
