Rachel and Phil are wonderful hosts. This was a perfect place to stay for an extended trip to Melbourne, but I'm sure it would be good for a shorter period, too. The transport links are great if you want to get to the city, or explore other parts of Melbourne. If you're looking for a suburb that has great food and lots to do - you wouldn't need to leave! Rachel has a really thoughtful list of recommendations -- I tried to get through as many as possible and they were all fantastic. The local pool is less than a five minute walk around the corner and Edinburgh Gardens is lovely place to relax. Rachel and Phil live close by and were very quick to respond to any queries I had during my stay. Having access to a bike to explore Melbourne was an added bonus. I can't say enough in favour of a stay here and I hope to come back!
