The Stables was just as described on the airBnB site, and was lovely. It was very comfortable and stylish in its decoration. Great bed and shower! Ione and Mark were very welcoming and provided extra information for my brief stay in Melbourne. The Stables is located a little out of the city centre but located between two excellent shopping streets, and with good public transport. Parking was also simplified as Ione provided a resident's parking pass - a real bonus. And the studio was heated - very welcome in winter.
When I said I needed to get to the airport early in the morning, Ione ordered a taxi for me. All in all, I felt very looked after. Very nice family - children and dogs included!
