A really great location, close to shops, restaurants and public transport (5-8 min walk to Lygon St or Sydney Rd). Much of the place is shared living, but I rarely encountered the other house guests, so privacy wasn't a problem for me. There were a few maintenance issues that might need attending to, but Val was attentive and quick to respond to messages, which is really appreciated. As mentioned in the listing, no basic cooking ingredients or toilet paper is provided, and kitchen cleaning equipment is quite limited, so make sure to pick up supplies if you intend to cook meals yourself. Overall, a great place, and I would stay here or at another of Val's places again!
