Very clean, great communication with host. Little gift on arrival which was nice. Washing powder complimentary so I could do a load of washing which was very helpful too. We would stay again. Worth noting though that this house is situated on the corner of a very busy road with lots of traffic. It didn't really bother us as we were rarely at the property. ##### Michelle C.

Apr 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bendigo escape We chose to stay at Simone's 2 bed room house due to it having modern comforts, a location not far from the centre of Bendigo and enough space for a family of 3. We were not disappointed and it surpassed our expectations. The dwelling has been recently refreshed and is a very pleasant place to base yourself for a Bendigo getaway. Had it been summer time, we would have made good use of the deck/garden outside. Having a cafe directly across the street is also very convenient. ##### Daniel H.
