I am a member of an artist's research group and was entrusted with finding a suitable venue for our two-day meeting. I wasn't keen on the idea of spending those two days locked up in some boring meeting room so decided to look on Airbnb. Maybe, I thought, there'd be some warehouse-type apartment, a more creative and aesthetically pleasing space where we could do all the meeting-type things but still be comfortable and relaxed....
And I found Jo's place.
The apartment was perfect! Beautiful, spacious, quiet, clean, comfortable, great light, and with a fantastic view that is quintessentially Melbourne. I ended up staying the night on the last night as it was such a great space to be in. Even at night, in this high-density urban suburb, the place was super quiet and I slept soundly.
Jo was a fantastic host, quick to respond to my initial query and easy to communicate with throughout. We loved that she left us with plenty of tea, coffee and morning tea treats - the mince pies were delicious, btw, Jo! - and also the fact that she was open to the idea of us meeting in her home.
I definitely recommend Jo as an Airbnb host, as well as her beautiful apartment, to anyone considering staying here. I look forward to staying another time, without the research group attached. Thanks Jo!
