My family (me, plus husband and nine-year-old) were visiting Melbourne from the US to see family. We needed a place to stay for a month that had a good location and that we could feel comfortably at home in. We’re so happy with our choice! It’s a beautiful house, clean and well cared-for, with all of the amenities that we needed and wanted for our long stay - washer and dryer, off-street parking, outdoor space, etc. The location is fantastic - walking distance to the train and shops, a few minutes’ drive to Southland - but the neighborhood is very peaceful.
The owners were really helpful. We had a minor issue with the heating system when we first arrived and it was taken care of right away with no problem. They responded really promptly and kindly to all of our questions.
When you’re renting a place for a whole month, it’s quite a commitment. And a wrong choice can really have a big negative impact on your whole trip - financially and otherwise. But we couldn’t be happier that we chose this house! Highly recommend!
