The cottage is very clean and Janet and Frank have thought of everything you might need. It is very comfortable, not just for sleeping but for hanging out and resting up between Melbourne activities. It is just a half block to the tram, which is really easy to use for Melbourne activities and less than a 10-minute walk to High Street in Northcote, where you can get anything you need, including dinner. Janet and Frank also have a really nice garden. We would definitely return if we were ever in Melbourne again.
