Trendy, relaxing 2 BR Apt. Shops & transport close

HailinRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Having been back in Beijing for a while now, I still deeply miss my days in Melbourne. Josh was an incredibly warm and welcoming host. Despite my physical limitations, he went above and beyond to help carry my luggage without hesitation. His home was exceptionally comfortable, equipped with all the essentials for daily living—especially the kitchen, which was fully stocked with utensils and appliances. The large fridge was a bonus! The neighborhood itself was peaceful yet convenient, and it’s within easy reach of the city center. I’ll definitely stay here again if I return to Melbourne!
