The place is spacious and homey. It's newly decorated with all new appliances in place. Beds are very comfortable. Offers free WiFi and TV programs. Fully equipped kitcken and laundry room. It pretty much has everything you need to call it home. My parents and I really enjoyed the 3-night stay there. Sally is a great host. She's very responsive to all our requests and even gone extra miles to help us out. After knowing we were first time visiting Melbourne without a car, she offered to pick us up from the train station upon arrival and also drop us off at the train station when we departed. In terms of location, it's a bit further out of city, about 40 minutes train ride from the city plus 10 minutes car ride from the Glen Waverley train station. Bus ride usually takes 30 minutes and potentially half hour wait in between. Therefore driving is definitely more convenient. If you'd like to join Great Ocean Road tour and Philip Island tour, I'd recommend finding a local travel agency located at the Glen Waverly train station. The tour bus will be able to pick you up at the train station instead of the pick-up locations in the city. Over all, I wouldn't hesitate to rent her place again next time I come to the area.
