Nicholas place is very quiet, it will have all the comforts of home so you won't be uncomfortable travelling.
Nice spacious rooms and comfortable bed, I stayed in the larger room. Great storage too and plenty of clothes hangers.
The local shops are just a few minutes walk so if you need to get some necessities like wine there is a BWS and Woolies Metro, also good places to eat if you can't be bothered to go into the CBD (La Cabra) we had it twice.
Trams are a few minutes walk.
Overall I would definitely stay at Nicholas place again, he was very nice and even came to say hello and if we needed anything. Swift communication when needed.
