Tracey is a very friendly host. Upon arrival, she spent some time with us to describe the facilities nearby and transport links. She had kindly provided a selection of brochures and a list of things to do around Melbourne. If we had not already had plans , that would have kept us very occupied.
The room with ensuite was very comfortable and very well appointed. Tracey is happy to help you if you run out of anything. We were made to feel right at home, and welcomed to use the kitchen upstairs if we so desired. Otherwise, we were left alone, and had the privacy of a hotel. Because the room is on the ground floor, access was very convenient and we didn't feel we were interrupting anybody.
The location is fantastic! You are just a block away from the south Melbourne markets, and nearby you will find both a Coles and Woolworths and a host of lovely little cafes. South Melbourne is a pretty edgy suburb, and Tracey's location provided a great introduction to it.
Particularly great is the fact that, within a few blocks, you have access to trams going into the city and to Saint Kilda. So if you're a culture vulture, everything is nearby. The National Gallery of Victoria is only a few tram stops away. Federation Square, Flinders Station, and the city centre are just to 3 more stops away from that.
If so inclined, there are a few nice cheap eateries one or two blocks away. If you have a car, you will be able to park on the street outside, but let Tracy know about this in advance.
We enjoyed our experience tremendously, and we think you will too. Next time we are in south Melbourne, we will be sure to stay with Tracey.
