Stayed at Anna and Tony's place for about 2 weeks with my wife, and have decided to extend our stay another week. It's simply a great place to stay. Close to public transport(actually, a 2 min walk to the train station), close to some great places to eat, and the house itself is splendid to stay. You can search the backyard garden for herbs that Tony grows, play with their dog Mitsy, watch DVDs at night in your bed, and hear stories about the Australian life. It was easy for us to get used to things in Melbourne with Anna and Tony's help. Everything from getting a Myki card for public transport to opening a Bank account, buying a car, finding good places to dine - they gave us lots of help settling in. Would definitely recommend this lovely place when staying in Melbourne.
