We spent just over a week at Ethan's place and really enjoyed our stay. It was the best value for our money with easy access to Melbourne CBD via the trains that are a couple of min walk away. We liked that we had a large private room, with our own entry, ensuite and kitchenette and access to a shared kitchen for cooking larger meals. It was a good mix of having your own privacy with a shared area to meet other travelers. We never actually met Ethan, but he was always quick to respond to our questions and allowed us to park in the carport at no extra cost. The wifi was strong and the table in the room was a good place for me to do some work during the day. We highly recommend Ethan's place to other travellers.
