Sarah is the ideal host; flexible, accommodating and very welcoming. On top of that, the home is perfect for winding down or exploring the great suburbs nearby. If you're not sure which part of the city to stay in, this would be among the best.

The kitchen space was open and warm and great for cooking. Use of her bike was an extra I wasn't planning on, but came in handy often. She even offered use of a Mykki pass, which normally you'd need to front $6 to buy, and anything else she could offer, she did without hesitation.

Lots of small things that all add up to a nice stay in the better part of Melbourne.
