Homestay in Essendon

I have been hosting students since 2010 and my last home stay last three years! I live in a large apartment less than five minutes walk from a station that goes into the city. Two stops along is Moonee Ponds, and exciting hub for entertainment including a cinema, shops and restaurants. It is a great location to live!
I live in an older style apartment but it is warm and cosy and has been freshly painted. I have a small dog but he won’t trouble you too much - he sleeps most of the day. The apartment is fully furnished and close to everything by public transport. The following bills: (internet, water and electricity) are included.

Please be sure to look at Strathmore station and see how far it is from your university - the apartment is almost directly across the road from this station - it is a three minute walk. There is a cafe and a gym across the road, as well as a fish and chip shop, chemist, post office and small grocer on the other side of the train station - so less than five minutes walk. However, the main hub of shops is a five minute train journey (either Essendon station or Moonee Ponds). These are both fantastic areas where there are lots of great bars, cafes, restaurants and shops. There is also a car space if that is something you’d be requiring.

There are lots of parks and walking tracks at the back of the apartment block, and one of the walking paths goes directly into the city if you like to cycle (bike not provided but Facebook marketplace is full of them). Otherwise, the train is twenty minutes from the city, which makes it perfect for RMIT city students; Melbourne university students (add another 5 to 10 minute tram ride); and any CITY campus of other unis and language schools.

You would have your own bedroom that is already completely furnished and comes with a double bed, built in wardrobe, shelving, a mirror and drawers. There is a large, spacious lounge room area with a tv. The kitchen is fully equipped. The bathroom, with a shower and toilet, has a laundry attached - it is also quite big and the washing machine is provided.

This is NOT a new apartment building, but because it is old it was built big and roomy with a lot of light and brand new carpet.
