10/10 would stay again! Gorgeous little warehouse converted townhouse in perfect location in the city with tram stops and Southern Cross station literally a couple of blocks away, otherwise a very easy stroll throughout town. I stayed on a weekend and there was a bit of noise from passing club patrons on the Saturday night but that is something to keep in mind when you are wanting to stay in the city anyway.
Penny was a lovely and extremely helpful host, full of tips and knowledge about Melbourne! I felt extremely comfortable and welcomed in her home. Her two cats Mokey and Wembley are a bundle of joy and courteous of their guests! I really enjoyed our chats and chill out times :) Penny was extremely organised and on top of a collection of maps, pamphlets and suburb guides she even tailored a suggested day outing for me to Fitzroy (which was ironic because I had sketched together a small plan) and I took on all of her suggestions and had a fabulous day. I would definitely take up her recommendation if I were you for Naked for Satan that place is soooo good...
I want to dedicate the rest of this review to the sleeping situation which Penny very humbly describes as a couch. It's not just a couch! It's a cloud! A fully retractable bed with a spring mattress hidden in a sofa that Penny also puts a memory foam mattress on top of...and then a pillow menu! It is bliss, and extremely comfortable. I slept like a queen!
