I stayed in Lindsay's space for one month - We didn't see much of each other, both being busy and consistently on the go, or retreating to our rooms to wind down, though when we did cross paths (usually in the kitchen), Lindsay was friendly, warm, and helpful.
The location is great; there are two cafés right downstairs (one has vegan friendly food options), also there is a pizza place right downstairs as well if that's your jam, nomnomnom; about a 7 minute walk west on Blyth there is Merri Creek bike/walk/running path which is beautiful; if you go east on Blyth towards Lygon and Sydney, you end up in the heart of Brunswick - Tons of restaurants on Lygon, all within walking distance, and an IGA Express if you need little groceries - If you keep going to Sydney road (a bit more of a walk) and go south, more restaurants, more cafés, better grocery stores, some OP shops, and Barkly Square with a K-Mart, Coles, and other little stores; if you take the tram north (stop right in front of Lindsay's) you are brought right into the CBD where there are restaurants and shopping galore. Lindsay is very helpful if you have any questions!
I also brought my own bicycle from Canada, and was able to lock it up out back without worry as there is a solid gate.
*As mentioned in the listing*, the space is on a busy street so if noise bothers you, do bring ear plugs. I was totally fine, but a light/fussy sleeper would notice this, especially with a pub right in front.
Thanks again, Lindsay! It was a pleasure!
