My friend and I had a wonderful time living at Nola's for 6 weeks. The location is just great.. the tram stop is literally just outside the door and the train station is across the road, making our trips to and around the city extremely easy and convenient. There are also a couple of restaurants, bars and supermarkets around the area. Nola was a great host, so friendly and accommodating to any of our requests, and just a lovely person to speak to and be around. Her home is beautiful and I felt right at home, right away! I would definitely recommend her place to anyone planning to stay in Melbourne. Do keep in mind there might be other guests there occupying the other room, and sharing the common toilet and shower.
