I had a great time at Joy and Owens place! It was my first homestay and my first travel on my own to the other side of the world!! Joy welcomed me really friendly and showed me around the house. There is a lot of stuff but that's what gives it character and everything is clean and tidy and has its space! I felt comfortable really quick, everyone was nice, friedly and always up for a chat and some laughts. Joy and Owen are really welcoming and helpful, so if you ever need something, if you have a question or a problem just ask them and they will do their best to help you! I stayed in the room on the ground level. I really liked it there. The bed is amazing and the sun comes through your window, my place to be for having breakfast and an amazing way to start the day :) Most of the time I went with the dinner option and was happy with that.
Like a lot of the others said in their reviwes it is really a home away from home and I can just recommend it for your stay in Melbourne! That's why I extended my stay at this really nice place <3Respuesta del Anfitrión
Thank you for the review - it has been great for all of us here at this time to have you stay as you have mixed in so well, should anyone need a reference re if you are wishing to go as you have mentioned to an apt we are happy to give it. We are happy to have you stay anytime you are in Melbourne. And when you go on your further travels we wish you a fun and happy time while here in Australian and when you go to New Zealand.

I stayed with Joy and Owen for 4 nights. It was my first homestay and I really enjoyed it as they made it very easy to settle in. The room and the bathroom were clean and everything was well organised. I had some great chats with both of seem and they gave me good tips on where to go and how to get around. I did not have dinner but I am sure it is nice too. If you are looking for place that feels like home, in a nice (suburb) neighbourhood plus the chance to have some good conversations that is the place to stay.

Thanks guys for the hospitalityenero 2019
Can't rate this stay highly enough! Joy and her partner were very accomodating at late notice and I had a very comfortable stay. The house is spacious and in a good location.
I wasnt able to join them for dinner (and the famous Irish coffee!) but really enjoyed having a chat over breakfast.
All round great, friendly hosts and a great stay. Will be my first option next time I visit Melbourne!

¿Cómo se hace una reserva?
Ponte en contacto con el anfitrión acerca de la estancia - cuéntales algo de ti, de lo que te gusta, por qué estás buscando alojamiento y al mismo tiempo pregunta lo que necesites acerca de ellos. Podrás reservar inmediatamente después de enviar el mensaje.
¿Cuándo se realiza el pago?
Una vez que un anfitrión confirme su disponibilidad, puedes continuar con la reserva mediante el pago del 15% como tarifa de reserva (con un máximo de 250 $£€ para estancias de larga duración), utilizando uno de los siguientes métodos: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB y PayPal (este último no está disponible en ciertos países). Posteriormente, pagarás al anfitrión el mismo día de la llegada, o según las condiciones descritas en el perfil del anfitrión y acordadas en el momento de la reserva. Hay que prestar especial atención a las solicitudes de pago por adelantado por parte del anfitrión, especialmente cuando estas condiciones de pago no están incluidas en el perfil del anifitrión. Todos nuestros anfitriones han sido informados de que si desean solicitar un pago por adelantado, deben indicarlo claramente en el perfil. En cualquier caso, recomendamos desconfiar de quienes soliciten que se realice un pago a través de Money Gram o Western Union.
¿Cuándo se publican los datos de contacto?
Las direcciones de email, los números de teléfono y la dirección postal del anfitrión y del huésped aparecerán reflejados en el email de confirmación que se les enviará a ambos inmediatamente después de la confirmación de la reserva. El intercambio de datos de contacto personales entre los anfitriones y los huéspedes a través de los mensajes que se envían a través de nuestra plataforma, va en contra de nuestra política.
