Really enjoyed staying with Carey. He’s a relaxed, pleasant host, who very generously offered heaps of great amenities and local tips. His house is in a great spot to easily access the popular St Kilda neighbourhood and Balaclava itself has many nice restaurants, cafés and shops to enjoy, too. Melbourne CBD can be reached by train, tram or bus in around 40 minutes. The room I stayed in was very comfortable, clean and quiet.
Would happily return! Many thanks again!
