My husband and I stayed at this home for three nights, and it was a great location for exploring Melbourne. The house is in Albert Park, and was very close to several tram lines, as well as within walking distance from the South Melbourne Market and the beach. There were some lovely cafes and restaurants in the area, which is mostly residential and seemed consist mainly of young families.

The home was small, but perfect for our needs. It has a nice big kitchen, although there is no dishwasher, which we didn't mind, and the oven didn't work, so we had to improvise some cooking on the grill. The bedroom was nice and the king bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was a good size with a great shower and a full laundry. The WiFi was pretty slow, and sometimes a little spotty, but that may just be an Australia thing; it worked well enough for checking email and some light browsing.

The backyard was spectacular! Highlights include the passion fruit vine and basil plant, as well as the gas grill which we used to cook up some prawns and lamb we bought at the market.

The host, Cathy, was very friendly and communicative, and accommodated an earlier check-in for us, which was greatly appreciated. She checked in with us mid-stay and offered suggestions on sights to see in Melbourne.

To sum up: the home is close enough to Melbourne's CBD that you can easily and quickly get there, but it's out of the hustle and bustle of the city, which we found perfect for our stay. I would highly recommend this listing for folks visiting Melbourne; we would definitely stay here again.
