I just had the best 11 day stay at 3 bedrooms, 4km to the city in Brunswick. I am in Melbourne often and I have had many stays with airbnb but nvr have I been so lucky to have landed this place which was so lovely and well equipped. The location was awesome as a tram station(19-Brunswick)was 2 minutes walking distance to the left of the house and train station(jewel station) 5 minutes to the right of the house which we didn't even realise as we couldn't hear them! We found out from one of the restaurants around the area.
Claire was a real sweetheart. She was concerned knowing that we landed in Melbourne at 4am in the morning. She left the lights on for us to find our way around the house. She even checked in on us 3 days later to make sure that we were all sorted for and to see if we needed any further assistance. Claire was kind enough to recommend us places to eat on Sydney Rd which was filled with all you needed from McDonalds to KFC, Optus to vodafone, Thai to Japanese restaurants, wide open road for the best brunch around with great coffee to 400 gradi for the best pizza around plus not forgetting the fact that Barkly Square that has Coles, Woolworth, Kmart, an asian grocer along with a butchery n eateries in there. For those organic friendly holiday makers out there, there's even an organic store right Abt 2 minutes from Claire's place.
To all those out there who loves to hangout in Melbourne but don't wanna stay in the city but wanna stay just this close from the city with all the convenience of the public transport to head into the city or to the suburbs, for those who like the night life(bars, live bands, a game of pool, a shot at the slot machine)yet wanna be walking distance to home so you don't have to drive home after a night out, for those who wanna explore one of the most sought after suburbs in Melbourne, for those who wanna cook at home and have the convenience of going grocery shopping 2 minutes away from you, for those who wanna chill back and sample the variety of food which I can't even mention all of them as I would have to go on all night, stay here. You have the best host, the best location and the price is great value. Oh yeah! This house has a garage as well. So it was good that I could park my car indoors.
Well done Claire. I will definitely be back at your place again. Thanks for being so accommodating and helpful.
