Gary's place is well renovated, beautiful and spacious. Some great things to note, not in any particular order:
1) Closet space for your clothes is amazing! There are 2 full size closets with sectionals, this allowed me to store both my clothes and luggage bags so I don't have to leave my bags around.
2) Location - 5-7 min walk down-hill to South Yarra train station then a 6 min train ride to the CBD, this got me to where I needed to be every day in a timely manner. Once you learn how to use the Melbourne Transportation you will realise how great the location in. Also, South Yarra is considered a very very safe neighbourhood - I was able to walk home late at night without any worry.
3) Host - Gary is an incredible host! He provided extra blankets to ensure I am warmer on cooler nights; taught me how to use everything in the home; communicated with me very quickly even for a period where he was out of town. He genuinely wants his guests to feel comfortable.
4) Water Pressure for the shower is great.
Thank you for the great experience!
