The house is as described, beautifully furnished, quiet, clean and spacious. The old world charm of a Victorian house with a modern interior makes Matthew's house the only way to live while in Melbourne. From the moment I made an enquiry, Matthew made the whole experience so easy for a first time user of Airbnb. The suburb of Fritzroy North is unique with its eclectic cafes and shops, you don't need to go elsewhere. Melbourne Zoo and Museum are close, we opted to use taxi's while in Melbourne. We walked to local restaurants, cafes and enjoyed the variety and quality on offer. The local supermarket was a mere block away. We felt very safe walking around the neighborhood, and enjoyed friendly greetings from locals walking their children and/or dogs. We did meet Matthew but only due to my husband locking us out the very first night! Thanks Matthew for coming to our aid so promptly. The house facilities are over and above what we normally experience when renting holiday houses. Besides all the wonderful technology aspects of the house, it was the quality linens and the kitchen and bathroom being stocked with everyday basic products that made our holiday so much easier. We loved the easy to use gas heater, and monsoon shower. With so many fantastic places to dine we didn't utilize the Masterchef kitchen. I highly recommend this accommodation and Matthew as a host.
