Great location, walking distance to Alexandra Gardens to walk “Olivia’s Walk for Wellness” with our two dogs. Close to the shops and the fabulous markets. Private and dog friendly. Parking was an issue as timed parking 7 days a week, however when we called Chris he provided us with the neighbours visiting permit. A few minor issues for us : no first aid kit as advertised in the welcome pack and we forgot to bring bandaids, the washing machine left black marks on our white clothes, poor television reception and it kept turning off, most of the drawers and cupboards were filled with the owners stuff. School over the road was noisy during school hours.However, we enjoyed our stay in Melbourne.
