I really enjoy my homestay with a marveous and loveling couple. Vicky and Steve always help me and they have done everything more easy for me since I arrived in Melbourne. I have always remembered in my heart because they're my Aussi (or Macedonian where they are from) family here! I will be happy if one day they are going to go to Colombia! I love they!
Excelente estancia, la casa es hermosa y las personas más, una parte de mi corazón y vivencias se queda con ellos, siempre serviciales, amables y generosos! Yo los espero en Colombia.

They are so friendly and caring. They are often out, but when they are home it's like a family.

Wygodny pokój. Dom w spokojnej okolicy. Nie poznaliśmy właścicieli, ale ich syn bardzo miły i pomocny.

WOW, what to say! I am really impressed. The best host and the best quality of service. The house was found to be a piece of art with no error at all. In fact, to be fair, it is the best service you can ever ask for. Great honest family, you would be considered an important part of their small family while staying with them. Anything you need it, just name it.It was better than a five stars hotel! I am glad I have finally found a permanent place to stay every time I have to visit Melbourne. It was so easy on a daily basis to reach the city. The bus stop was one minute walk from the house. While the train station was easy to be reached while taking the shortcut across one of the best safe walking track across the park. There was another beautiful walking track park can take you to the main mall and shopping center. I cannot really talk enough about such great experience. Thank you very much for such great host family and their helpful son.

Starting fresh in Australia is not easy, but Steve and Viki treated me like their own son to make me feel home <3
The house is beautiful and tidy, the neighborhood is nice and quiet ..

I'd a great stay. They’re nice and friendly. It was kind of them that they cook special vegetarian dishes for me.The house is cozy, clean and comfortable. I’ll definitely visit again their place! I appreciate all their support during my stay.

House was fine and comfortable. Never met hosts all week! Thought I was staying with them a couple in their sixties but instead was in a house with a young couple and another homestay single man! Left to my own devices all week when the hosts son made an appearance with decorators and proceeded to paint the whole house including all our rooms stinking them out with gloss paint which I had to smell all night. The other homestay and myself were the only ones there at the time and we were not happy. Everything had been covered in thin plastic and the floors were slippery to walk around. I woke with a headache and had a paint taste in my mouth! Disgusting. I was due to leave next morning when he turned up with 3 men to finish decorating. Couldn't wait to get out of the stink.
