Damcho's room was an amazing place to call home while I was in Melbourne. I can't say enough good things about the room, the home, the host, and the location.
The room is spacious, has a comfortable bed, nice natural light (with heavy curtains), plenty of lights, closet and drawer space, a cozy feel, and lots of information visitors might want.
The home is a real home, not a sterile, for-profit, blank Airbnb experience. The kitchen is well-appointed, the dining room casual, the bathroom practical, and the porch off the bedroom delightful. The linens and towels were as nice as I have at home.
Damcho is a great host who has put a lot of thought into anticipating the needs of guests. Plus, she's friendly while providing appropriate distance. I'm an Airbnb Superhost, and I know a good host when I see one.
I wasn't sure when I booked a room for us in South Yarra. It turned out the location is great. We walked to the South Yarra Station, which is two short stops from the Metro Central City Loop. Streetcars are even closer. The neighborhood is full of amenities, including a park and great Indian food.
If you want to be in the comfort of an older home with lots of personality and a good host, Damcho's place is for you. If you want a hotel experience, get a hotel ;-) Highly recommended!
