Alan has a nice beautiful house, which is well maintained and clean. The large living and dining areas gave each individual plenty of personal space. The kitchen was very well equipped with many appliances and had more than sufficient pots, pans, plates, bowls, cups, etc. My family also enjoyed having meals out in the garden / yard.
The rooms were all of good sizes with very comfortable mattress and linen - every night was an excellent rest. Bathrooms’ showers had good water pressure and temperature.
Great that there was Netflix on both TVs.
Good location relative to both footscray and Melbourne city. We had a car but in fact the public transport into the city was actually very very convenient (direct buses or trams) and relatively fast on the days when some of us used it.
Last but not least, Alan is a very responsive and responsible host who was replied very quickly to my emails / messages before and during the stay! He also had prepared a set of 3 documents emailed over before the stay with instructions, restaurant recommendations in the area, and public transport information!
