We returned to Anne's place to finish our stay in Melbourne. She helped us and welcomed us back as friends.
She has a backpack for your use, cooler bags and freezer packs for travel. Having both a washer and dryer, and a good drying rack, are important when you're traveling for longer than a few days. The kitchen is well-equipped with a good-sized refrigerator (with many things you might feel the need to purchase as soon as you arrive). My husband gives Anne's place the ultimate compliment - it's comfortable.
When Anne says to tell her if there's anything you need, you can believe her. I can't say it enough how kind this woman is.
The beach is close and it takes less than half an hour to get to the City on a tram. The grocery store and many restaurants are within a 10-15 minute walk. It is a true neighborhood.
