Monica is a fantastic host - very friendly and easy to get on with when you need anything (and recommended some great sights, shops and trails nearby), and happy to leave you to your own privacy the rest of the time. The apartment is a great living space, ground floor with excellent air flow (we stayed there in mid summer and didn't miss A/C - in fact we didn't even need to use a fan!) We initially booked 3 weeks but extended to 5.
Fairfield village is really nice too, with lots of quality dining places up Station St, you're about a 2-3 minute walk to the station, and close to Northcote too.
Special thanks also go to Monica's friend Tom who did a brilliant job of looking after us when she was away.
Highly recommended!
