Our stay at Anne's place was one word: exceptional!
It is everything you see in the pictures and so much more.
THE HOST
Anne is just the most pleasant and welcoming host one could ask for. I've stayed at quite a number of Airbnb's but she takes the cake. Even before we arrived, she provided us with help no directions, and was there to let us in when we arrived at 8pm. She even cooked a delicious chicken soup with rice for us so that we didn't have to head out for dinner. And after a tour of the place, she filled us in with so many good spots in the area, we were left rueing the fact that we were only staying for 2 nights. We only managed to hit 3 of the spots she recommended (a breakfast place, a coffee place and a croissant joint) and they were all fantastic! We also had free use of the washer and dryer during our stay, and she prepared a spread of fruits, breads and oats for breakfast. Ten thumbs up!
THE PLACE
Way better than some hotels we stayed during the trip. Guests get full access to the second level and rooftop deck, and Anne doesn't come up during the stay. She occupies a room on the first of the 3-storey warehouse loft. The second level is the bedroom, living room with TV and a big couch, and a double shower toilet (!!!) i.e. 2 showers that you can both enjoy together. Top it off with Sheridan linens and towels, upmarket toiletries, and this pretty much trumps any hotel.
The rooftop deck is icing on cake, a great place to star gaze, or bring your breakfast up to enjoy the morning sun.
All in all, 5 stars! We'll definitely be staying again when we visit Melbourne!
Thanks Anne!
