I hesitate to say what a great place this is because I want to keep it my secret! I stayed here for three weeks after moving out of my apartment and liked it so much I will return in February. Jennifer is easygoing and very helpful but also respects your privacy. The house sits at the back of her property and she has fenced the back garden in such a way that you have a private outdoor space with lovely mature trees and herbs. The space itself is compact but very comfortable with the bedroom on the entry level and the living space upstairs. There are plenty of pots and pans for cooking, a comfy couch for relaxing, and a meals area with a table for four. The bedroom is small but there is a wardrobe and chest of drawers for clothes. There is a ceiling fan for hot weather and an electric blanket for colder nights. The neighbourhood is great with a local wine bar, bottleshop, cafe, and well-stocked grocery store. You are surrounded by parks and walking/bike paths and the train is minutes on foot. You can enjoy the quiet of Clifton Hill but be in the city in 15 minutes! Houses sit close together here so you will hear the neighbours. But it's mostly families around so it's never noisy late. I highly recommend Dudley's.
