Mark's house is spacious, modern, warm, and in an excellent neighborhood. Back patio and large gas grill made for some fun dinners. We stayed in the winter, but there looked to be a pool available for summer use. The kitchen is well equipped and roomy, much like the rest of the house. The number 64 tram is a 5 min walk from the door, and a shopping center is a 10 min bike ride away. This house is a primary residence for Mark and his family, we felt very comfortable. The living room area was very nice, Bluetooth speakers were a great surprise, and nearly unlimited fast wireless internet was a relief after living in a few other places in Melbourne. We would definitely recommend Marks place to a traveler looking for a place for a longer stay.
