Some pros of staying at Tam’s house: 1) the house is like a designer house where every single part of it is well designed and decorated. Even though I found the mirrors a bit too much but it is still pretty. 2) host prepared small gifts (coffee and biscuits) to welcome guest, which is very sweet. 3) all cooking items and utensils are nicely chosen and with high quality. 4) host responded very fast even with different time zone/ guest arrived at 12am. 5) the house is well maintained, my hubby works in the hotel line and he said the house was cleaned by professional Housekeeping service. 6) the house is located at a sub urban area where you can explore the other side of Melbourne/ a quieter area. I found the neighbourhood safe for visitors.
Some cons of choosing this house:1) the house is located far away from central so you need to walk+take bus 48/75 to city area everyday, which cost you much time and $. 2)I realised the hair dryer was not working at my last night and had to sleep with wet hair. I purposely chose this function and thought it to be a basic service. I had informed host to fix it for the next guest. 3) I arrived at 12am so was unable to locate the correct door number. There are 2 similar houses/black doors located together and the unit number was unclear. 4) the house is renovated from a garage so you may want to open the high window/balcony door for air flow. 5) only 1 shampoo and 1 shower gel was provided for my 1 week stay. You may want to request more or bring your own. I brought my own. 6) I checked out as requested at 10am and the cleaner was already waiting outside the door. Maybe arrange the cleaner to come 15mins is better for customer experience.
Overall I enjoyed my stay here and the easy communication with Tam. Just want to share some honest feedback for future guest choice and host improvement. Thank you Tam for hosting us.
