I highly recommend Caitlin’s place as friendly and comfy place to stay in Melbourne.
It’s well connected to tram lines, has some exceptionally good cafes and food nearby, near to a couple of parks and the zoo, whilst also being in a safe and quiet area to come back to at night.
The bedroom is very comfy and being in the house is very relaxing. Having a choice of coffees/teas/cereals in the morning made life really easy here, and we were able to use the washing machine before we left. Caitlin was great to talk to, and before we met her she was also fantastically flexible with our arrival time (2am), our check out time and even our booking dates after we made a mistake!
