Excellent experience!

The booking process did see some hiccups, being both my and the host's first times using AirBnB. However, that was dealt with very well by the host and we got there in the end.

Checking in was excellent - the house was secured with a number lock, the pin for which was provided prior to check in, allowing maximum flexibility.

The stay was excellent. Parts of the interior appear to have recently been renovated - many of the appliances look brand new (including a file of operating instructions); The kitchen was well equipped; The WiFi was fast and flawless; Essentials were provided; There was an Xbox 360 with several games; Host left some Myki cards (public transport fare cards) for use; to name a few.

The neighbourhood was similarly excellent. The street is quiet and peaceful. The house sits next to Darebin creek, and Darebin parklands is accessible within a few minutes on foot. Supermarkets are less than a 5 minute drive away.

I struggle to find a negative with this AirBnB experience.
