Christine's home is in a quiet residential area in comfortable walking distance from restaurants, shops and public transport. It is a short drive to the airport - about 15 minutes if there are no traffic delays.
The house is attractive, with large rooms, and Christine encourages her guests to use the living areas including the kitchen. Our bedroom was especially nice with a comfortable bed and a ceiling fan.
We appreciated Christine's warm welcome, her excellent communication before our arrival and her advice about places to eat and the routes to take when walking to the restaurant area and driving to the airport. Since delays are common when there are road works or heavy commuter traffic, an early start and local knowledge about the various routes are important when catching a plane. (The free VicTraffic app that shows where there are roadworks and congested freeways but it was Christine who told us how to avoid congestion caused by school drop-offs)
