I spent a lovely two weeks with Irene. Irene herself could not have been friendlier and accommodating always willing to have a chat yet also leaving you to do your own thing. The room was as described and was very comfortable as was the whole house which has central heating. I was given full use of the kitchen and its various appliances, however as I was on holidays I didn't feel the need to cook and instead explored the various cafes and restaurants which footscray and the surrounds had to offer. I would definitely stay with Irene again and would recommend it to my fiends if they were going to Melbourne.
