Lianas place was myself and my partners first experience with airbnb and it could not have been better.
Our time in Melbourne was purely for leisure, so we wanted somewhere quiet in the suburbs but still with easy access to everything in the city.
Check-in was seamless, we arrived in Melbourne from Perth at around 1am and had no troubles with letting ourselves into the guesthouse. The place is easy to find via Uber as well.
Lianas place is absolutely spotless and thoughtfully decorated. There was fruit, a loaf of bread, milk and chilled water along with various cereals and spreads that enabled us to save money on breakfast/coffee. We did not do any cooking ourselves, but you would definitely be able to as there is a microwave and small oven/hot plate.
There was an awful heatwave in Melbourne on our final day, but the fan and aircon kept us totally cool and we were able to entertain ourselves with Netflix on the smart TV provided. Internet was fast and had no issues.
Bathroom was small but well equipped, even with shampoo/conditioner, body lotion, etc. I will say, the bed is on the firmer side, if that is something that future guests may need to take into consideration.
The location was the very best thing about this place. It was a 5 minute walk to 7eleven which allowed us to top up our Myki cards when needed on our way to the train station that was not even a 10 minute walk from the guest house.
Although Liana and her family were just a few metres away in the main house, we would not have known they were there at all. We had complete privacy; able to come and go from our own entrance as we pleased, but also knew we would be able to reach out for assistance if needed.
Overall, myself and my partner had a fabulous time and will be recommending Lianas place to all our friends who travel to Melbourne! :)
