This is the second time we have stayed at Oikos and boy did we need it. A secluded sanctuary, we felt very safe during the precarious post-lockdown Melbourne. This time the weather was hot so we took advantage of the AC and fans in the living and bedroom. We also explored the area more and enjoyed a delicious meal at a nearby Italian restaurant and took in a movie at the Palace at the Pentridge precinct, recommended by our hosts. Oikos will now be a regular stopover for us whenever we visit Melbourne and I suggest you do the same.
