I didn't meet Stella, but her neighbour, Heidi, was great. She checked in with me a few days early to arrange our arrival. We loved the place. Perfect inner city living for us. Teenage boys had a ball going out on their own without needing me to drive them everywhere. It was especially good for our Italian exchange student who is used to going about independently. Walking distance from the CBD, Smith Street, Brunswick Street, Clifton Hill, you name it. Wonderful cafes and shopping. Close to train at Victoria Park station and trams. Cats were absolutely delightful, friendly and affectionate. We loved them, especially that one greeted us from the top of the wall when we arrived! Facilities in the house were terrific. We loved the space and all the natural light. Kitchen was fine as was the bathroom. I hope we put everything away in roughly the right spots! Some might be concerned that the neighbourhood is not safe after dark. I lived around this area as a student and never had any problems then, nor did I this time walking home late in the evening on several occasions. Very quiet, despite proximity to Hoddle Street. Would I stay here again? You bet. One of the best holidays I've had. I can't say enough good things about it.
