The villa is located in a brilliant spot, within walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. The level crossing did not bother us at all.
Shane and Nuan have thought of everything, and included lots of little touches to make the place comfortable. They have made excellent use of the space available.
We did struggle a bit with the sliding doors though, as the bathroom and kitchen cannot be open at the same time. If someone is using the kitchen, and you want to exit the bathroom, you have to coordinate with them to avoid hitting them with the door. This made it difficult when there were 3 of us there, especially as 1 was a small child who you could easily hurt.
We also found it very difficult without aircon, as it was an extremely hot week in Melbourne when we were there. This was my fault though for not checking before booking.
