I enjoyed a very comfortable 2-week stay at Renat's place whilst my kitchen was being renovated. Communication with Renat was always polite and very responsive. Information regarding check-in etc was clear, and he also provided very helpful 'local knowledge' on the surrounding amenities. I arrived to find my accommodation very tidy and welcoming. Little touches like milk in the fridge, lemons in a bowl on the kitchen table, and tissue boxes in each room were much appreciated.
Access to everything is super easy. It is mere minutes to be on the freeways, yet the apartment is very quiet and peaceful, as it is tucked away in a suburban side-street. I enjoyed my daily 6-7 minute walk to the local shopping strip for my morning coffee, and a quick 5 minute car trip saw me at Essendon Fields where one of Melbourne's best independent fresh-food supermarkets (La Manna) and also Coles are. The apartment is also well situated for quick access to the Niddrie/North Essendon cafe and shopping strip.
Renat's apartment was the perfect size and perfectly positioned for me for my 2-week stay. Thank you Renat for being such a polite and lovely host!
