Vera is a lovely and hospitable host, her home is the perfect “home away from home” located in a quiet and safe part of Melbourne. Access to shops and public transport is within a short walking distance and the Labassa mansion was a lovely site to see across the road. I stayed at Vera’s place for 11 nights with my partner and it was just enough space for the two of us. Vera provided everything we needed; bed linen, towels, toilet paper, tea/coffee and even bread and welcome beers, all we needed to do was buy some groceries to last us the entire stay. If I could give more than 5 stars for every factor, I would. Definitely planning on staying at Vera’s again when I visit Melbourne next. Just hope she won’t be booked out! Highly recommended to any solo, couple or small family for short or long term stays :)
