Mauro's place was in a good location for us, as we had a wedding to attend in a nearby suburb. The number 11 tram stops almost at the door, so it was very easy for us to travel toward the city when we wanted to. Brunswick Street in Fitzroy was about 25 minutes away. There are some eateries nearby (e.g. Pomona Cafe for coffee and breakfast) and more options along the tramline. The house itself is comfortable and has real character - Mauro's excellent photography is on display throughout. While the house is on a main road, the traffic quietens during the evenings and we had no issues with noise. The bed was comfortable too. We really enjoyed our stay and appreciated Mauro's quick responses and recommendations. Thanks!
