Suzy was out the first few days of my stay, but she was in constant communication with me to make sure everything went well until she returned. Her housemate also took very good care of me, showing me around Melbourne and even giving me a lift to the airport on the day I left.

Everyone in the home was very friendly and up for a chat, but still respectful of each other's privacy. There are also two cats who were sweet!

The home was warm and comfortable which was great since it rained for the majority of my stay and I spent several days indoors working on a university project. There is tea and coffee available to guests and space in the refrigerator and pantry for food. I was also given access to all the cooking supplies and laundry machine which was very helpful.

The neighborhood was very quiet and relaxing. There is a kangaroo enclosure about five minutes walk from the home which was a fun surprise! There is also a grocery store within walking distance and the public transport options are easily accessible. It's about 30-40 minutes by train into downtown Melbourne, but if you are looking for a homey, peaceful stay, this place will do the trick!
