I stayed with Carey for about four months, during which time he proved himself an outstanding host. He is warm, welcoming and very friendly, while also being sensitive to his guests needs for their own space. He was always on hand to address any questions or concerns that arose and communicates information very clearly to his guests. When I wanted to change my booking midway through my stay, Carey was more than happy to help. The house itself was always very clean and tidy, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything one might need, and Carey provides,at no extra cost to guests, a wide variety of pantry staples, making preparing meals a breeze. Another unforeseen benefit of staying with Carey was the opportunity to meet all sorts interesting people from all over the world, including China, Germany, Indonesia, France, Russia, Korea, South America, New Zealand and the UK. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I look forward to staying with Carey again when next in Melbourne.
