Definitely recommend Tara's place for anyone looking for a place in Melbourne. The house is spectacular and spotlessly clean. Its in a quaint and very accessible location (barely 200m to the tram stop). Tara has a great collection of all possible utensils and crockery, spices and sauces in case you wish to cook, and never stopped us from using any of it.
Treat the place like your own home and I promise you would have the best time in Melbourne. Tara is very approachable and was always available on call and text for any help. Love the fireplace in the dining/kitchen area - great place to unwind and relax after a long day in Melbourne.
