The place itself is an old Melburnian style of home but has been kept clean and tidy and in a great location, close to a tram right into the city. John himself was a gracious host and very flexible with changing dates/times with me when I needed to. He is always open for a chat over dinner but will respect guests privacy as well. Most of the time I had the bedroom + lounge to myself as well so that was really nice. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in Melbourne for an affordable price!
