Had a great time staying here - very lovely and welcoming group of people. It's near enough to the city that you can hop on a tram or a train and do all the major bits, but you're also not right in the busiest area. Everyone was very helpful and had great trips for what to do and see, not just in Melbourne and Northcote, but also the rest of Australia. If I'm ever back in Melbourne I would definitely stay here again!
