I loved Banu and her amazing studio. It was the perfect retreat for my time in Melbourne and located in my favorite bayside suburb of Elwood. I would not hesitate to book again and wished I had booked my entire stay there I would have felt very happy and safe which is very important to me. I loved hearing the rain on the roof and the surrounds. Banu made me feel very welcome and comfortable. She left me some rolls, cheese, milk and butter which was a lifesaver as I was so tired when I arrived and up early the next day. Beautiful place to stay perfect for single ladies want to feel safe. There are stairs so if staying pack light to make your life easier moving around.
