Just spent an excellent three weeks at Nicki's, in two separate segments as I fulfilled visiting faculty role at Monash University and travelled for a week with my partner between stays. We enjoyed the lovely neighborhood with easy access to public transportation, especially to the university, into the city, and down to the beach. Our bedroom and living space met and exceeded expectation with ample room, very comfortable bed, a desk in the lounge area, and excellent wi-fi. The warm welcome and hospitality went above and beyond as we were greeted with fresh fruit, milk for our coffee and even a bottle of wine in our fridge. Our hosts were helpful with sightseeing suggestions and sharing their favorite restaurants. We enjoyed getting to know them over a glass of wine and even a home cooked meal; and, we chose to interact occasionally with their small dog and elusive cat, which for us was an added bonus. Returning from our interim holiday felt like we were coming home. We would definitely stay again.
