My husband and I stayed in Garv's place for 6 weeks and can not recommend this place and this host more highly.
Garv's place is in a great location - close to the city, vibrant victoria street, Walking/bike paths along the Yarra River, Abbotford convent and the Children's Farm, Fabulous Fitzroy and plenty more.
Also, Garv was the Perfect host. Living in the same city, we were able to visit Garv prior to our stay. He gave us a thorough orientation of his house and encouraged us to make ourselves at home. He was happy for us to watch his movies, left us his computer to watch series' on, left written instructions on how to use appliances in his house and contact details for neighbours and relatives in case anything went wrong.
The house is well appointed with a comfortable bed, laundry, adequately equipped kitchen and comprehensive home entertainment set-up.
Garv was also easy to communicate with.
Thanks Garv for a great stay!
