My family and I had a wonderful stay at Alex's home. Alex provided recommendations and tips during our handoff of the keys. Alex is the type of host that goes above and beyond for his guests- he even lended us cards for the bus/train! Communication with Alex was quick and easy. The location was super central as well. His apartment was nicely decorated with an amazing view. The only thing I want to call out is that you will be able to hear the trains from both bedrooms- it wasn't a bother to me or my family, but if you are a light sleeper, this may not be the right place for you. Otherwise, I highly recommend Alex's home if you're staying in Melbourne!
