Amanda is very nice host. Our rental car is a 8 people mover, which is very long. Amanda went through all the trouble to confirm whether her place can park the car :) We were glad to get chance to meet her in person. During our stay, Amanda replied my trivial questions in prompt manner. Even after we checked out, I thought my daughter's camera was left in her house (eventual we found out later it was with us), Amanda offered to help us checking with her current guest to look for it. We really treasured the hospitality offered by Amanda!
The house is located in South Yarra, which is very closed to Melbourne CBD and St. Kilda (approx. 10+ min drive if there is no traffic jam). A lot of eatery places, grocery just 1 to 2 blocks away. On the other hand, neighbourhood of the apartment is very quiet and safe.
The house is well-equipped and very clean. Kitchen is fully equipped. The extra toilet on downstair gives the extra convenience. We love the dinning area and sofa, warm and cosy. We spent lot of time to chat in there. The bedrooms all on upstair, are comfort, with good storage for clothing, which made it easier for staying there 5 nights. Bathrooms on upstairs are in very good size. One of the bathroom has bath tub. getting in / out takes slightly extra effort because of the wide rim, but it is not too much trouble even for me. We are a party of 6, the house has good space for us. During our stay, we went for long drive to Great Ocean Road and Philip Island. Returning to the house each night giving us a comfortable environment to rest and recharge.
I highly recommend Amanda's house!
