Kate was is a welcoming and capable host. She is very well travelled , fun, generous hearted, and interesting, with plenty to talk about if the opportunity arose. Her flat is very comfy and light filled, with good temperature regulating curtains and blinds. These top floor views are green and lush, giving a sense of tree-top expanses although so close to the heart of Kew. The bedroom was simple and well laid out, with a very comfortable mattress and bed linen. In Kew cafes with good coffee and amazing cakes abound, the supermarkets and grocers are above excellent. I would love to stay here again if I am in Melbourne as it is an easy and direct base from which to go anywhere. Thank you Kate!
