James was a fantastic host who made it very easy for me to come and go as I pleased. I stayed with James for 2.5 months while I was on exchange from. The room was fantastic, providing all the amenities one would hope for an extended stay(private bathroom, shower, tv, closet, pantry, washer/dryer, even air conditioning). Port Melbourne itself has the beach nearby, as well as plenty of places to buy a bite to eat along Bay St. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay and worked out wonderfully for me.
