This place is in a quiet part of Melbourne, about a 50 minute train ride into the city. From or to the airport it is about 1-1.5 hours. The place was very empty when we were there with not a lot of furniture in the rooms but our bedroom was comfortable. In the kitchen, finding the essential dishes and cutlery was challenging. The bathroom had the shower separate from the toilet. The toilet was very clean while the shower and bath looked like they weren’t the cleanest. On Saturday, the people next door were very loud all night but the rest of the week were fine.
We felt very accommodated by the host, he was good at communicating and got back to us quickly when we needed.
This place is good if you want a place to stay for a night or two to recuperate or if you have a car but if you want to sight see or experience more of Melbourne then just stay in the city.
