I stayed at Sarah's place for almost 23 days and my experience was wonderful. Sarah is a wonderful host!! From Day 1, I felt at home. You can actually get to know a lot from her about Melbourne and about Australian culture and she's always ready to help.
She is also very accommodating with the use of kitchen facilities, washing machine etc. The surroundings are very calm with all the required facilities like grocery, medicine shops, cafe etc within walking distance. There's a very nice park... Edward lake park within walking distance. Also, the reservoir metro station with direct connectivity to the main city is only about 300 meters.
Overall, the place is very good to stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for short/long term stay...
