Carl's place is highly recommended to all travelers looking to explore what is an amazing part of Melbourne (and a stone's throw away from the CBD!) It has been tastefully renovated, with all the conveniences that anyone would require whilst also not cluttered - as such also a great place to also relax in when not out and about exploring the neighborhood. Carl was was super responsive and very easy to deal with, flexible and supportive in accommodating our travel arrangements as well as a genuine nice guy. Great place, great location, great host - have saved this place to my favorites for my next trip.
