It seems evident from the overwhelmingly enthusiastic reviews of this Airbnb accommodation and host that there is little that can be added in the way of new superlatives. As a result of our recent 3 night stay here, we can echo all the positive comments regarding the exceptional quality of this accommodation and experience. Marjolein is a warm and gracious host with an appreciation of travel and a keen desire to optimize her guests' stay in her city, of which she is so justifiably proud. All the comforts reviewers cite such as the super comfortable bed, extensive storage space, use of a comprehensively equipped kitchen and genuinely welcoming ambience of her elegantly stylish but relaxed home seem to us a reflection of Marjolein's remarkable generosity of spirit that is the best of what airbnb offers. Upon our arrival, our gallant host -- after a busy, long and no doubt tiring day at work-- led us on an orientation walk around her dynamic and fascinating neighbourhood, including the local sites most meaningful to us. That first evening we spent an amazing half-hour with the fairy penguins which was absolutely magical for us and set the tone for a perfect stay. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay at least one more night. Thank you, Marjolein, for a wonderful introduction to Melbourne, hours of engaging conversation (and some laughs!), and for making us feel so comfortably welcome in your beautiful home. And hugs to the exceedingly adorable Boots and Peekaboo. We hope to see all 3 of you again!
