Karen gets an A plus as an Airbnb host. First of all Karen is a most gracious, friendly, giving person who strives to insure her guests are comfortable and enjoying their stay in her Airbnb. The condo is absolutely beautiful, modern, super clean and organized. The pictures don't do it justice. In addition, the living room windows look out upon a wonderful park across the tree-lined street including Melbournes' Shrine of Rememberance and Royal Botanical Gardens. Several cafes are within a block or two of the condo. On the street is a tram stop that takes you into the city in about 12 minutes. Karen met us at the condo, showed us around, answered all our questions, and advised us to call her should we need anything. In addition Karen provided two notebooks full of useful information regarding the condo and getting around in Melbourne including doctors, pharmacies and supermarkets. She contacted us each day to offer suggestions of places to go in Melbourne and restaurants to try. Most helpful. Another plus is that there is a small market on the ground level next to the building. Our stay in Melbourne was delightful and good deal of that can be attributed to Karen's embracing us as close friends. We had a wonderful experience and can heartily recommend staying at Karen's when in Melbourne.
