Family Christmas Getaway
The house was just beautiful, had everything we needed, plenty of space for us all. The warmth and feeling of a place makes you feel at home and this house did that for us. As for getting around Melbourne, tram and train stops were just up the road in walking distance which worked out really well. Definitely will keep in mind for when we plan to visit Melbourne again in the future.

Generally satisfied
Property is located next to very busy road so front bedroom occupants will be affected. Location is perfect for transport links however if you prefer to walk, there are no restaurants or bars close by. Good size property best suited to families. Cleaning needs to be improved but mostly around dusting. Mel the host was easy to contact and was very accommodating.

Great Little Hideaway
Mooranda was a lovely surprise. Tucked away in Parkville right on the tram line and at a busy intersection, the house was remarkably quiet and had everything that you might need for a short stay in busy Melbourne. Parklands, a small supermarket with liquor shop were close by so that you could stay in or catch the tram into the city and dine out accordingly. Most certainly I would stay here again.

Great location, good for young families
Great location with trams on your doorstep and zoo in a 15 minute walk. House is located on a very busy street so parking is around the corner, including Ubers-not a big deal though. The end bedroom is just a sliding door off the kitchen/dining room so not overly private or quiet. House could do with a good deep clean but rough enough Nice outdoor area unfortunately not utilised to its full potential as outdoor seating is old and uncomfortable. Overall would recommend to stay if your looking for something easy and accessible
