Our stay at Samantha and Craig's place was very comfortable. They were wonderful hosts and very helpful. Even though the unit itself didn't have a washing machine they let us use their washing machine to do some laundry. There is space in their driveway to park so that you don't have to park on the road, which was a plus since we had a car. Their unit was very well done up, was well stocked with supplies and the Netflix (on the TV) was a great plus! The unit is in Bayswater, which is a 45 min drive/train ride to the city, so folks hoping to spend a lot of time in the city should be aware of that. That being said there is a Westfield mall located close by which is a great bonus with heaps of restaurants, bars, shops, etc.
Overall we had a very pleasant and comfortable stay with Samantha and Craig and would recommend it to anyone considering to put up in Melbourne.
