Valeria’s place is small, but as advertised and a nice place to stay for a week. It’s in a very good location in Carlton, within walking distance of the CBD, Lygon st, and the Carlton Gardens. The bed was very comfortable. I just wish that there was a screen on the window so one could enjoy the fresh air at night, but since there’s not, if you open the window a bunch of black bugs enter the room. I also thought that the coin-operated laundry situation was a bit of a nuisance considering how little cash is used in Australia at the moment. If you want to do a full cycle of washing and drying, you will need about $7 in coins (amounts on the machines are also not clear as to how much you will need - dryer only says $1, but it’s really $1 per minute). Positively there was a drying rack in the room so you didn’t need to use the dryer.
