Jim's place is fantastic in terms of location and everything inside. Hughesdale station is close by, but it was closed for construction during my stay. There are plenty of stores that are extremely close by car, but also a reasonable distance by foot or on one of the bicycles that Jim provides. It's on a very quiet street so there's no noise to worry about, other than the occasional gust of wind that rattles the trees behind the place. The space is very small, but also very comfy and cozy; perfect for up to two guests.
Jim is very friendly & although we only managed to meet each other once during check-in, he was very hospitable and respecting of privacy.
All in all, I had a practically perfect stay here and would definitely return when I come back to Melbourne.
