My wife, mother-in-law and myself stayed at the Kingsville guest house for 10 nights while visiting Melbourne. The location was ideal for us because of its proximity to our family in the neighbourhood, but it's also close to a nice little park, small shops and restaurants, and easy access to public transit to visit the city. The rooms were nice and spacious with lots of closet storage space and it was great to have access to a washer and dryer during our visit.
The main drawback for us was that the accommodation seemed a bit too basic. In some cases, particularly the kitchen, there didn't seem to be enough amenities. For example, there were 3 forks, 3 bowls, 3 glasses, etc, which meant we had to wash dishes during and/or after every meal. Some of the other kitchen essentials like dishwasher detergent, salt, pepper, and sugar were also missing.
In terms of furnishings, it was very sparse. The living room housed only a 3-seater sofa and small side table, which unfortunately didn't make it very comfortable for the three of us to sit in and relax. And although there were hooks on the walls, there was very little art displayed. There were also no shelves or bookcases (though we did end up finding some books tucked in one of the drawers of the bedroom side table).
When we first arrived, we knew the guest house had been cleaned (it smelled nice and fresh), but upon closer inspection of the tile, vents, etc, it could use a deep clean. We've shared our feedback as well as suggestions with the host so that some of these issues can hopefully be addressed. With a little bit of work, it could be a really great accommodation.
