We had a wonderful experience with Evelyn and her house. This was our first Airbnb experience, and we had to book at the last minute, and really appreciated the Instant Book facility.

The house was ideal - we shared it with our daughter and her 13 month old son when we came to Melbourne for a wedding. The house was ideal for a toddler, and Evelyn really went out of her way to make us welcome. She spontaneously organised a port-a-cot, high chair, baby bath, toys, and books for our grandson, all of which he used and loved.

She gave us great directions from the airport, and had fresh artisan bread, milk, butter and other supplies waiting for us. There was a parking permit for the street, a coffee machine with great coffee, and information about wonderful local coffee shops and restaurants.

The house is cosy, well furnished, has colourful bedding, and a very well equipped kitchen, including microwave. There is plenty of wardrobe space. There is a lovely rear deck with sliding glass doors, and a bbq. The house gets lovely morning and afternoon sun.

The area is very quiet, and yet very close to cosmopolitan Acland Street, and to the St Kilda beach and esplanade (great for jogging).

We could not have been more pleased, and would love to stay again some time in the future.
