The location was okay, lots of cafes nearby and a few shops. Taking Super Shuttle from the airport costs $39 and they would drop you at the front door. Walking to the CBD was about half an hour, along the way there's a New World opposite Victoria Park for groceries.
The house was spacious and the pets were very lively. The hostess was nice and utterly helpful and they kept the place clean & tidy.
The only downside for me was that it's too chilly in the room & the house that I caught a fever after one night's sleep, so I would recommend this place for warmer days.
