    Description

    There's four people in our home, mum, dad and two kids aged 14 and 12. We have two cats and four chickens and have a mini mini farm in inner suburb of Essendon in Melbourne. Our home is 100 metres from train station, so super handy to get into CDB and lose to shops and cafes too. The room has a double bed with own ensuite with lovely back garden views and an exterior door so you can come and go as you please. You will also have access to a bike, laundry and wifi.
