We had a great stay at Chris place!
The location was perfect and in walking distance to the tram as well as a bunch of cafes, restaurants and bars in Collingwood but still off the main path so it was quiet at night.
We had problems with the WI-FI when we arrived which got resolved by Chris super fast
He also left us two myki cards for the public transport network which was awesome.
I would definitely recommend to stay at his place when in Melbourne!
