This is a beautiful very large bedroom rental in a very clean, exquisitely styled 1920's house shared with the owner. Kerry is an artist and a gracious hostess, - available whenever needed and well informed. During our 9-day stay we often had the whole house completely to ourselves - which was much more than we expected for the cost of a "room rental!" We had access to a full kitchen, laundry, front and back garden porches, sitting room, dining room, etc. Yes, we did share the one well-appointed bathroom (odd for Americans), but Kerry was "invisible" and we never seemed to cross paths to the bathroom. She also thoughtfully provided two $10 tram cards upon our arrival, and refused to accept payment for their use. The tram is just 5-minute walk around the corner. The house is located in a quiet cul de sac that also has direct access to a long bike path that runs along a creek. We fully enjoyed the 45-minute walks to and from downtown CBD to see a broadway musical, the museum, the State Library, and famous shop arcades. There is a wide selection of excellent multi-ethnic restaurants, pubs and bakeries along the way and a health food store and regular grocery store about a block away. So much to do in Melbourne - but just as nice to come home to this quiet cozy rental retreat! Thank you Kerry for a great experience in Melbourne.
