My girlfriend and I came to Melbourne for a week and were lucky to find John’s lovely place in Fitzroy. We stayed in the king sized room and had a shared kitchen, bathroom and dining room. John was very quick to respond to any of my questions and gave us good restaurant recommendations and was generally attentive. His place is located in one of Melbourne’s oldest neighborhoods, where you’ll find plenty of nice restaurants, boutiques and pubs with live music. It is only about 25min walk to the cbd, or 7min by tram. John had coffee and breakfast available and made sure we had everything we needed. He even gave us two tram cards which was handy to travel around. If you are coming to Melbourne and are happy to have some interaction with a real melbournite, go to John’s place, he’ll have plenty of old Fitzroy stories to share.
