I was lucky enough to book during a time when Darren was hanging around Melbourne, rather than just staying there by myself. As an Airbnb, it felt more like being put up by distant relative who I hadn't met yet. The location was the initial drawcard but I felt completely comfortable hanging out on the couch with him and Pedro, swapping stories. It was great to have his place to myself for a few days as well, especially because I'd been made to feel quite at home already.
The communication before I arrived (later than I'd said), was easy and helpful. The bedroom was warm and comfortable, and everything was pleasant, clean and homey.
It's a fabulous little house a 1 min walk to the Marina and beach paths, a 10 mins walk to Acland St, with free parking close by. Next time I'm going to make sure I get to the sea baths.
