This was our first experience of AirBnB and what a great one! It make me wonder why we hadn't tried it sooner! Until arrival, we were warmly welcomed by our hosts. They showed us around the property and made us feel immediately at ease.
The property itself was spacious, and creatively and beautifully decorated. The room was private, clean with an en-suite bathroom and everything was as advertised. Being in Fitzoy, the location was perfect! It is within walking distance of a range of restaurants, bars, a park and local transport stops. Also, Johnston Street, which is great for shopping (and yet more bars and restaurants), is just a short tram ride away.
Nick and Philomena have achieved the perfect balance as hosts- they are very friendly and great company but also know when you give your privacy. Furthermore, they have excellent local knowledge and pointed out some great spots for us including a local bar which has live jazz on Sundays (don't miss this!).
Overall, a great property, great location and great hosts- I would highly recommend a stay with Nick and Philomena!
