Sarah and Hal were very accommodating and made my partner and me feel very welcome. We tend to keep to ourselves and felt comfortable doing so, however if we had wanted to engage with other people in the house we knew we would be warmly received. The room was immaculate and very convenient, and the house was beautiful and in a lovely area, close to public transport. Sarah was an enthusiastic host and went out of her way to provide us with booklets and brochures of things to do while in Melbourne. She even went to the bother of contacting members of her family to find stores that stocked a specific item I was looking for.
We are used to light-blocking blinds at home though, and the light streaming in through the large windows above the bed, and through the blinds, woke us up at nearly exactly 8am every morning, so if we had wanted to sleep in that might’ve been made difficult. Overall, we would highly recommend this room to others.
