It was wonderful to stay at Jim's place. Jim is first a very agreable host. I arrive late in the evening because of my plane schedule and Jim had waited for me in order to explain me evrything about the place and about also the neighborhood and public transportarion. He was very kind and bring me some food so that I can mak the first meal. The place was perfect to me. It had all the comfort needed. Northcote is a very nice area where all what is needed in terms of daily shopin can be found. I went to Melbourne to visited Melbourne University. it is quite convienent I fond from Jim's place to go to the University. I took the tram 86 very close from the appartment and themade a stop in Smith street. I then had to walk in the nice neighborhood of Fitzroy for 20 mn. Just perfect! I highly recommend this place!
