Sue and Andrei were the best hosts I’ve had through Airbnb. They had other guests while I was there and they let the guests choose how much interaction they wanted to have with their hosts. The place is very similar to what I expected when reading the description, but make sure to read the description to know that you may be sharing a bathroom with other guests.
Sue and Andrei gave me a tour around their neighborhood as well around Melbourne. They let me tag along on walks with their dogs and answered all the questions I had about the city. I was debating on getting a hostel in Melbourne but I’m much happier that I decided to stay at their place instead!
