My family had a lovely stay at Carmen’s. It was a great spot for us to use as a base while in Melbourne for 10 nights. Being so close to the Merri Creek trail was fun to explore with the kids. My 3.5 year old son greatly appreciated the vast array of toys, in particular toy cars, as well as kids books that are available at the house. The house pretty much had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The only downside I can think of is that the material that is used on the Eastern wall let’s in a lot of light. This is nice during the day but it’s impossible to keep the kid’s bedroom dark so they will be up at sparrows. Other than that, this is a delightful home in a lovely part of Melbourne.
