Quiet. Private. Modern. Comfortable. Sunny.
Location! location! Location!
This is one of the loveliest houses we've ever staying in, including many many Airbnb's. The house is the ground floor of a converted warehouse. Two spacious bedrooms with quality beds, modern kitchen, comfy couches, ceiling fans, good (and silent) heating in every room, and I loved the bathtub.
The location is absolutely unbeatable. It's tucked down a quiet 'no through road' street, away from any traffic noise. It also has wonderful direct sunshine streaming in for most of the day, and light blocking roller blinds to block the sun if you want. It's about a 3 minute walk to Smith Street and a 7 minute walk to Brunswick Street. This corridor is the the best restaurant region in Melbourne. A few minutes walk from the house is a direct and short tram ride to the city, a tonne of shops, restaurants and a variety of supermarkets. Also the Fitzroy outdoor heated swimming pool (with gym and jacuzzi) is a 15 minute walk away through gorgeous leafy Fitzroy streets.
We had to change our dates, and Sarah was completely easy going about it. She made it a totally stress free experience. She also provided us with some groceries to get us through the first few days, including wine and treats. He daughter wrote up a list of restaurants for us, to match our dietary preferences. So thoughtful.
We couldn't ask for more than this house. I could imagine living here permanently. I looked at many many houses in Fitzroy on the Airbnb site, but nothing came close to Sarah's house.
We'll recommend this house to friends and family when they visit Melbourne.
