I am an Australian female teacher who has worked in China teaching Accounting to Chinese students so I would be happy to help you with your English. My home is a spacious 3 bedroom home, close to the airport, shopping centres, public transport and only 9km from the Melbourne CBD. Guests have a seperate bathroom, your room contains a single bed, desk, wardrobe with lots of storage and access to printer and wifi. I am friendly and enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures. I have two cats who are very shy so would not bother you, they mainly stay in my bedroom but venture out for an occasional pat and to be fed.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile.
