We enjoyed our time in Melbourne at Emily’s place. The location was perfect for us as it was quite close to a family member we were visiting, but even if we had been just tourists it is an ideal location, being a five minute walk from Bay St with a myriad of great restaurants and shops, or in the opposite direction the tram stop for a quick ride into the city.
The beds were comfortable and made up with good quality bedding. The kitchen was well equipped and the washer and dryer were very handy for our extended stay.
When we found that the toaster was not working, Emily had a new toaster delivered the next day. I would say that Emily was great at communicating, responding quickly to any questions, and providing a very comprehensive booklet of “how tos” and other information.
The only caveats I have are that different floor levels in the house might be an issue for the mobility impaired, and limited street parking might impact those with a car, though a street permit is provided.
