We had had a couple of bad experiences with airbnb, it's seems to be too easy for hosts to cancel. and the airbnb website has improved from poor to okay. After another cancellation from a house in Fitzroy, we once again had to find another place for our weekend in Melbourne. And Hadyn's place should not have come up because he has a minimum time for rent that was more than the time we wanted to stay. AIRBNB, FIX YOUR WEBSITE. However, he elected to let us stay for 3 nights, less than his minimum, as a sort of consolation for our bad experiences with airbnb. And he was a fabulous host.

MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR PEOPLE WANTING TO STAY IN MELBOURNE - HIS LOCATION IS FABULOUS AND GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY.

It wasn't really his job to make up for the poor performance of airbnb but he did and we could tell that he wanted this experience to work for us.

I go to Melbourne 6-8 times a year, mainly for work staying in a hotel, his apartment could not be better located and better value for money.
