Marta’s bungalow was comfortable and homely. It is close to the mud brick home they are busy building in front, but that is a positive project to observe. The family was very quite and lovely to encounter and chat with on occasions. But still very private. As a stay it was accomodation with personality.
The location was perfect for me. It’s a couple of blocks from the village shops which have all the essentials - supermarket, pharmacy & good cafes etc. Walk a little further and you are are on a lovely section of the Merri Creek with the renowned pedestrian suspension bridge & Joes Market - urban farm and great coffee pastries & toasties. A country atmosphere in inner city. There are pathways for kilometres along the creek for cycling, walking and running. If you are inclined there is a Saturday Park Run I ended up in the middle of. Great neighbourhood. Good tram access to the city and surrounding areas of interest.
I’m saving the Spanish cooking until next visit.
