Emily & Simon are excellent hosts offering a lovely place, thoughtful touches, and quick communication. The location is fantastic with a short walk down the road to Union Square Village for shopping at Coles, butcher, bakery, fruit & veg, pharmacy and a few eateries, plus a tram stop. If you walk the opposite direction it's not that far to Sydney Rd where you are spoilt for choice with restaurants and shopping at Barkley Square, plus tram and train stops. The accommodation is functional with a kitchen to whip up some meals, the pull out bench for extra prep space, a table to eat, a couch to relax and watch TV, and a desk space with fast internet to work. The space is cosy, welcoming and relaxing, especially with all the plants. Air-con and fans make it comfortable if it gets a bit warm, lovely large shower, a laundry for washing, airer and clothes line available, an iron and ironing board to iron clothes, there's nothing that will leave you short of home comforts. I stayed here a month whilst relocating interstate to Victoria and it was an excellent base to get a feel of Brunswick, explore, work, and eventually find somewhere permanent to live.
