There are 2 separate areas in the courtyard, a table and chairs and a barbecue for eating and cooking, and a more informal area with 2 cane armchairs and a small coffee table and a cane lounge for relaxing with a book, coffee or a glass of wine. In addition to this guests often use the laundry, with washing machine and dryer and of course there is a lounge room with piano and television. During your stay I enjoy meeting and greeting my guests although sometimes my son Sam will do this for me as I work full time and may be delayed getting home. I lead a busy life, but I do like to get to know my guests and where they come from, their cultures and languages and their views on Australia and Melbourne. I think this is one of the great benefits of hosting for Airbnb! Other things to note Ours is a non-smoking household so please keep this in mind when booking as we do not want the smell lingering as people return inside or in the bedrooms.
