Jerome's place is an awesome find and better than any hotel. It was the perfect location and pretty much walking distance to everything. He is by far the best, and most hospitable host among all the Airbnb's Ive booked.
His kitchen was stocked and he was kind enough to get us snacks knowing we flown over 25 hours...chips, soda, milk and cereal. He even had a coffee maker with coffee pods for the whole length of stay. Definitely book with Jerome if you plan to stay in Melbourne. He goes above and beyond.
If walking is not your thing, the apt is a 3 min walk to the free Trams. The Supermarket is across the street. Top 3 best coffee shops is 1.5 blocks away!!!
