I've lived in Melbourne for 8 years, and I am hoping to share great recommendations during your stay for Melbourne and surrounding regions you could do a day trip out of. Although I'm a corporate professional, I actually used to work in hospitality, in particular, as a chef in high end restaurants and hotels. This is probably where my passion for excellent guest service stems from, and I would like to use this experience to give you a memorable stay. Yes, I'm a new host, but certainly not new to the Airbnb or vacation rental space. In fact, I also own two other holiday home properties - one in the world class winery region of Yarra Valley, and the other on the Mornington Peninsula. If these regions are of interest to you, please check out Sol Coastal Retreat (@solcoastalretreat) and Sol Yarra Valley (@solyarravalley) - would love to offer a discounted stay! They are managed by my experienced property managers, and in my two years of partnership with them, I have obtained insights into what great hosting looks like...so here I am promising you a smooth and enjoyable stay at Sol Docklands. Feel free to shoot me a message to enquire about the property. I look forward to hosting you in your loft home in Melbourne. Cheers, Jeff
