Mick's place was far better located than I'd imagined, and in a quiet, very pleasant street and well healed suburb. Strathmore station is very close, and unexpectedly connects well into Melbourne's awesome tram network at Essendon, Southern Cross, and Flinders Street Railway Stations to which the trains connect fast and frequently.
The bedroom/lounge is excellent, containing a convenient kitchenette and coffee facilities, plus a large screen TV. There's a large and convenient well appointed bathroom also.
Within a five minute walk there's a small, pleasant, street shopping area including a really nice cafe on the main corner just across from the convenient railway station.
Mick is a very helpful host. Great price and recommended.
