House is an older style, in a lovely neighbourhood. I felt comfortable as soon as I walked in the door. The host is a wealth of information on the area and has a stash of pamphlets and magazines.
The bedroom is large, the bed is super comfortable. Wardrobe and drawers to unpack if preferred.
Bathroom is shared, no drama with timing when I was there. Nice fluffy towels.
Bus stop is only a block away and takes you straight downtown in about 15 minutes. Loads of other options for transport links once on there.
Great coffee shops close by, same corner as bus stop is particularly good I thought.
There is a large supermarket about 1.5kms away, not an unpleasant way to check out the neighbourhood, or take the bus. Can get a $5 day pass on the bus which covers trams. Buses run regularly, less frequent on weekend, check out the timetable.
