We recently stayed a week at Kathryn's place - Airbnb. As a couple we found the location perfect for visiting the eastern suburbs of Melbourne (and the Yarra Valley) as it is a short walk to the train and bus lines. Our host Kathryn gave us a delicious varied breakfast each day and helped in many other ways, always ready to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The facilities were very nice indeed including a comfy bed, hot shower, everything neat and clean.
We utilised the airport bus from Melbourne airport which drops you within a short walk or Uber ride to the Airbnb, at a very reasonable cost. The Airbnb located a short walk to the large newly renovated and expanded Eastland shopping centre which has all your travel needs, SIM cards, money exchange, travel agents, medical facilities, travel goods shops etc...
The room in the upper level of a traditional steep gabled English cottage is complete with a huge old oak tree in the garden to shade the house on hot days. We actually felt we had our own private space and place thanks to Kathryn’s hosting. Thank you again Kathryn
