Bryce and Diane are just lovely, and the loft is perfect. No frills but clean, comfy, warm heater, great little kitchen, quiet and safe. The shy black lab Bella who lives in the back yard is very sweet--by the end of my stay I had earned her trust!

The neighborhood is a quiet suburb with little houses and a local park and football field for running around a few blocks away. I didn't have a car so had to take cabs/train to go food shopping, but not a big deal. It was a perfect 20-30 min walk to Monash University, where I was working with collaborators. and about the same in the other direction for getting to the train.

Bryce and Diane were always available for my questions, very kind and friendly but always gave me space too. The loft is in the garage, separate from the house. I will be returning for more collaborations and will definitely be booking this loft way in advance for my next trip!
