1. About the room: the room is what you can see on airbnb. The host didn’t use the wrong shooting angle to mislead you. The room is quite large and it is enough for two people. The living room, kitchen and bathroom are shared and fridge, washing machine are provided. As a traveler, I didn’t cook by myself, but my roommates did that. The bathroom is really clean, and toilet paper is always there. The host did not provide slippers, cup for brushing teeth and all the bath products, which means that you should bring them with you(I did that) . In the bedroom, a wardrobe and air conditioner are provided. When I stayed at Melbourne, it was really cold and the air conditioner saved me from the low temperature (I opened it to provide warm braw).
2. About the host: Yen is very nice and showed warm welcome to me. I did not meet her very often, but before I left Melbourne, I asked her whether there is a public scale, for the reason that I flied by tigerair and it has a strict rule on the weight of carry-on luggage. Yen said there was no public one but she can lend me her private one, which helped me a lot.
3. About the traffic: To be honest, the location is not closed to city centre, and mostly I have to take more than half an hour to other places, such as fitzroy, Melbourne central(the shopping mall) , st paul’ church etc. The worse thing is that at weekends, the bus came less often. If you miss the nearest bus, you may have to wait for more than 20 minutes. However, bus 216 is in front of the door, which means that you can immediately take a bus after you get out of the house. Bus 220 is a little bit far but just 5 minutes walk.
4. Others: All roommates are kind and they did not make big noise. Although the floor is made by wood, after 12 o’clock , you can hear nothing but your breath.
