I spent almost a month on Mauro`s house with my partner and i honestly had the best time! i think is one of the best airbnb i have rented by far, the place was VERY clean, the back yard with BBQ is just dreamy, the house is very big and with a lot of amenities and beautiful decoration. Excellent Big TV with the best sound stereo i have seen on Airbnb. You have washing machine, fully equipped kitchen, great wifi (which is very rare in Australia) , the room is perfect with sun light and very comfortable bed. HIGHLY recommend to rent this place if you see it available, if you are looking for a 1 br place i dont think you will get a bigger (or better) house than this one, as is actually a 3 br house, but the other 2 br are locked so you have the entire house for you, best relation price - quality i have seen on airbnb.
The tram stops right in front of the house which is awesome, there is parking in the house for your car, there is a bottle shop in the corner closing 11 pm, thats great ! also a very good pizzeria and shops, etc. Is perfect for getting to know melbourne without the stress of the CBD. Nothing to complain, Mauro is a great guy and will give you any information you need ! excellent host.
I think the best thing was the BBQ area, great times there, will miss the house. Dont hesitate on renting this place.
