I stayed twice technically with Ian as I added an unexpected night to my one night intended stay. He was so generously flexible in accommodating my unplanned evening arrival--like a lighthouse in a stormy moment in my travels. Everything about his place calmed down my ruffled day. The place was nicer than the picture. So clean, the bathroom clean and shower was amazing. They had thought of so many little touches that made the stay so comfortable and relaxed. He was also keen to help me make sure my further travel was in order and took time to help me strategize my departure to make sure I had safe future travels when I left their place. Just a great soul! I am so lucky to have found this place--a really nice calm clean comfy cottage to call your base for exploring all of Melbourne!!!
