I was staying at Ryan's place as a brief stop on the way through Melbourne. He was very flexible and accommodating to my arrival time, which I appreciated. He, and his mother, who was staying at the time, were very friendly. Unfortunately, my schedule was behind, so I had to leave the next day, but the room was quiet, clean, and comfortable, and, in general, the place was very nice. I also enjoyed seeing and petting the big, friendly, well behaved dog (knows boundaries and will not intrude on guests private space or kitchen). In any case, unless you need a private shower/toilet/kitchen, I'd highly recommend Ryan''s place. Great host, super clean place, and a great price.
