Yeah, Bindi’s place and Bindi herself were for us one of great highlights of Melbourne! Bindi met us in perfect, tried to help us with planning and anything in between. She’s a nice, friendly and very communicative person, though at the same time she totally respected our privacy. Generally hanging out with her was a lot of fun and it helped us to learn a lot about Australia and New Zealand.
The place itself was it a very good location in Fitzroy. It was about 3 min walk from the main street in there with many restaurants and shops. Little traveler’s tip. We really liked near Bindi’s place Girls And Boys (they have amazing vegan soft ice cream, mega tasty doughnuts and croissants), Lord Of The Fries (ethical fast food chain with unbelievably tasty burgers with Beyond meat which looks, tastes and smells like meat, but is made from plants) and Red Sparrow Pizza (ethical pizza restaurant where they make pizza better then in Italy) One more place that we really liked was a charity restaurant called Lentil As Anything. It’s situated in an old convent and is a great place to visit. You pay there as you feel. If you’re traveling with a car and wanna go to the center, the best place to park is near National Gallery of Victoria. The price is great and you can walk everywhere in no time)
So, talking about Bindi’s place. There’s a lovely small minimalistic room, huge living room, really well equipped kitchen (there’s even a nice blender which helped us to make some lovely smoothies)) and a nice balcony.
One more awesome thing was that there’s a garage, which was super convenient since we traveled by car. And also Bindi had two Myki cards for us for local tram.
There was only one thing that was not as amazing as everything else. It was WiFi, which was extremely sluggish. It’s kinda almost the same across Australia. It’s so slow that you barely can open Instagram. However Bindi said that she wanted to change the terrific or the provider. So it should be cool then!
So, we highly advice booking this place
