Gary is a wonderful host who give us the freedom to do early check in and we loved his cozy comfortable place which is enough for up to 6 people. The design is amazing, location is absolutely great in a quite neighborhood close to market and even closer to beach. Except the kitchen is little bit smaller than what our big family need for cooking the new year dinner, and the fact that all of us need to share a single bathroom. But that’s because the house was meant to be designed for a smaller family and there were too many of us, so no one is to blame here. Gary is awesome too for quick responding every question we have and actively solving problems. He also gives us warm welcoming in the day of arrival! If there is one thing that I have to mention to make the experience to a higher level, It would be if the apartment gets its own individual WiFi without the need to share with others, which makes the network a bit slow. All in all, we would highly recommend the place to others staying in Melbourne!
