HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Robert's house is everything you want for a trip to Melbourne. A house of this size, this price, this quality and in this location is gold. Great restaurants, bistros, cafes, coffee shops, wine bars, amazing delis and bakeries as well as Woolies are literally at your door step, as is a tram stop. Yet, the house is so peaceful and quiet!
It's clean, has everything you need, large enough for everyone to have their own space yet cosy (the fireplace in the lounge room is the best!). It's a 20 minute stroll to the edge of the CBD where there's a plethora of amazing restaurants - yet you could easily just spend your entire time dining out in Carlton which has come a long way since the years gone by when Lygon Street was just known for Italian restaurants.
It really does feel like a home away from home. I imagine this is one of the rare Air BNB's that really does tick all boxes.
Also - Robert, the host - very prompt, polite, helpful communication. Couldn't ask for more!
