I had a really great stay at grace's house ! I when arrived directly from France she was really helping me to make my way out of the airport. She even offers me to meet me at the station or the airport (even though I was not in the right place LOL). The room is nice and the house is amazing ! Grace is adorable, she make me feel like a part of the family even though my stay was short. She took me to the restaurant and even offers me some rides to other places. She is always available and with good advices on what to do and where to go ! The house is not in the center but the area is really calm, so it's amazing and the beach is not far in bus.
Thank you grace you're an amazing person !!Host reply

It is very rare(at least with me) to find a comfortable place to stay in as a student. I find myself lucky to have been with Grace and family. From cooking, to driving to work together, to hanging out and sharing stuff, there has never been a sense of togetherness as strong as this one with someone who was a stranger to you before. Grace has been very generous throughout my stay and always made me feel part of the family. I have immense gratitude in my heart for whatever I have received from her. She makes a great host and there is no two ways about it. This has been my home away from home and I thank the entire family for having me as part of their lives.

My family and I were truly blessed to have stayed with Grace.
We came to Australia with no family and friends. But that is not the case anymore.For someone who is going to reallocate permanently to Australia, Grace was very helpful, informative and proactive in guiding us in every possible way.
We felt that we were at home, although thousands of miles away from ours.I would definitely recommend anyone visiting Victoria to live with Grace and her wonderful family.
Warm Regards,

Grace is a awesome women and her home is nice to stay in the Melbourne suburb.
All the time it was a very warm welcome and she involved me in the daily routine.
Grace supports me continuously and find solutions for my daily trips to Melbourne CBD. Usually it takes time to found out how it all works in Melbourne but with Grace at my side,
I could combine business and vacation excellent without loosing time.
I recommend this homestay with "five hearts" due reasons like hospitality, support & simplicity. For me Grace is doing more than a normal guest host.
Thanks Grace, Maik & Uta (Germany)
