Barry was a tremendous host. Nice enough to give us a ride in the neighborgood and show us the various places, bus stops, trams, etc. The room was great as far as amenities went, but because of the heatwave in Melbourne on a couple of days, it became extremely hot even though the drapes and blinds were kept shut throughout the day. AC & fan brought it back to acceptable levels however and we did not suffer too much from it. The house is in a beautiful area and we enjoyed relaxing on the patio. In short, we enjoyed our stay and Barry made it that much more enjoyable. We would not hesitate to go back there again if ever in Melbourne.
