Cynthia, Clarke, Oliver and Rufus!! made me feel very welcome in their beautiful home. Rufus was the first of my welcoming party and by the end of my stay he even sat on my lap :) The bedroom is lovely and the bed so comfortable and I had my own private bathroom down the hall. I've been to Melbourne many times (this time for the David Bowie exhibition) and Abbotsford is so close to Fitzroy (my favourite stomping ground) and to the city. Locally there are plenty of Vietnamese, Thai and Indian restaurants close to the house for a quick cheap dinner and its so easy to catch the tram to the city its literally around the corner. I had a wonderful stay and would stay again. Thank you.
