We chose Clifton Hill for a special 5-day family birthday celebration city break, with a view to walking to restaurants and cafes for every meal. As it turned out the weather was diabolical - definitely not suitable for walking before dining! Fortunately Tracey's home is well able to withstand days of torrential downpour and four housebound teenagers. We really didn't need to go out at all - the well-appointed kitchen made it a pleasure to cook up a storm, the excellent coffee machine kept us all well caffeinated and there was plenty of room in the giant fridge to store all the goodies purchased at the market just before the storms hit. The home's layout provides generous dining areas indoors (and out) along with 'breakout' living spaces so we could share meals but didn't have to spend all our time together. Great wi-fi, big screens and the foosball table were definitely bonuses for the kids, while the stairs up to the 2nd level "suite" clearly delineated a parent-only zone. With quality linens and fluffy towels (on heated towel rails!), we found the overwhelming atmosphere to be that of a stylish, comfortable home-away-from home. Thanks Tracey for allowing us to step in to your lifestyle for a few days, we'd love to come again and hopefully get to enjoy sunbathing on the rooftop terrace.....
