I stayed for a month in Andy’s flat and I couldn’t have been more comfortable. It isn’t big but is well equipped. I was able to cook meals for myself as well work from the flat. It has been a cold spring and the small space heater was more than enough to keep me warm and the bed was comfy with a warm comforter and crisp clean sheets. At night the apartment was absolutely silent. I couldn’t hear another soul. I’m a pretty hands off independent person so I typically don’t contact my hosts often (especially because historically Collingwood is home for me) but any time I needed something Andy was available for me. He was kind enough to drop off clean sheets and towels so I didn’t have to launder what I had in the flat and I really appreciated that.
The flat is in the suburb of Collingwood and if you ask me it’s one of the best to stay in. I have previously lived there for three years and it has been so nice to see the transformation to what it is now. Such a good vibe and soooooo many good restaurants. Try Robert Burns for an amazing pub meal, project 49 for the best farm to table/locally sourced food, or Anada for a fantastic creative Spanish menu with great service. Oh, and Aka Siro for a home cooked Japanese meal. Collingwood really has it all and if you do want to get out, the flat is super close to the 86 tram or the train station.
Can’t go wrong with Andy’s place. It was absolutely great for me this time of year!
