"Needs some loving"
We lived at this place for 28 days. Among so many of my other AirBnB stays, Penny is one of the most attentive hosts for the need & betterments towards the guest. This place is a cozy 2 bedroom unit in the neighborhood of Kew. The unit has ample space for a family of 4 and the unit has a small backyard as well.
This place is very close to the public transport and the bus stop is only a 30 m walk from the unit. The buses that leave from that stop are Melbourne CBD bound routes and are only a few stops away and can be reached around 20 minutes and vice versa which we found very helpful during our stay. The location seems a little distant from the CBD (where most of the attractions are for travellers) for anyone but once anyone uses the frequent bus service from near the unit, one can understand what I am trying to explain here.
Penny's place has all the necessary things for a family of 4 either it’s a short or long stay. In the kitchen all necessary utensils were present for use by the guests. We found the refrigerator is rather small and we struggled with space as we had a long stay. But this seemed like it wasn't on Penny's hand as the unit was designed that way and no room for a bigger refrigerator. The lounge had a very TV with Roku connection along with a very high speed WiFi connection for guest usage.
The place has lots of potential to become an ideal AirBnB but it seems unnoticed by those who are searching for a good place to stay. We were staying here with our 6 year old child & a 4 month old infant with little or no issues. This place is aging and needs some loving by the host and also requires few essential upgrades. But one thing I must admit again is that Penny is one the best hosts I came by in recent times. If guests are facing any issue she gives her best to resolve that as quickly as possible by her which is a great plus. We would love to stay here again.
