A wonderful place to stay

It was the first time to book a holiday house in Melbourne. I couldn't believed how convenient it was. It was closed to my Melbourne friend's house/work, so we have a place for everyone to attend the reunion after more than 2 years haven't seeing each other. All my friends and us agreed that we should make it as our gathering spot every time if possible. The house had everything that we needed, the location was handy, the host also wonderful and alway quick response to my concerns. I would like to book again next time when I visit Melbourne.

Very nice quiet area, clean tidy, comfortable, a good supply of necessities ( toilet paper, bed linen etc) plenty of cooking utensils, crockery &cutlery, fridge was switched on & cold ready for us to use. One thing I can suggest is putting in some hand towels for the bathrooms, otherwise no complaints. Also someone came to cut lawn on the verge which is not very well covered & lots of dust & small stones etc were being flicked around and we had a hire car parked in the front which could have been damaged and we would have possibly been charged for this.

Great spot

Great spot close to trainline. Great house was perfect for our needs for rooms and beds etc.Only downside there was a lot of food left in pantry from previous guests, there were staines on the wall in the second bathroom, broken glassware and not enough plates and bowls for 7 people, a random person going through the bins who advised us they were from the landlord ok but not needed till after we check out and definitely not needed at 10.30pm waking people up, back yard wasn't mowed, a few doors need attention as they dont latch.

Melbourne Trip

Catching public transport in and out of the city everyday was nice and convient as train station is literally just down the road. House was tidy and welcoming. It took us a little while to work out where the laundry room was (outside). Having a BBQ out in the back yard might nice for future guests as the outdoor is nice and big enough to enjoy.

Perfect for groups or families

This property was perfect for our family trip to Melbourne. With plenty of room for 3 generations. The location is easily accessible with local shops a short drive away. The house is furnished with everything you need for your stay. Comfortable beds, with plenty of pillows. The bath towels are soft also. We travelled into the city with the train station in walking distance. Tibor is an excellent host and was great answering questions both prior & during the stay. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.
