About our home
My home is located in a beautiful and quiet tree lined street that has a wonderful park and playground just a few doors away. Locally you are within a short walk to a large shopping strip with funky cafes and restaurants as well as a large (Coles) supermarket. The train station (15 min. to the city) tram and bus stops are also just a short walk away.
The home itself has bright and spacious open plan living areas with the family room having a 60 inch 3D "smart" HDTV. There are three sizable double bedrooms, two of which have queen size beds with the third having singles. The master bedroom has a walk in robe, ensuite and a 60inch Smart HDTV. There's a separate office/ study as well as a large laundry. There is ducted and zoned heating / air conditioning throughout.
I also have a wonderful modern two bedroom / two bathroom apartment in a supurb location in Toorak that could also be made available for your stay. The apartment in Toorak can be viewed at https://www.airbnb.com.au/rooms/1467936
Melbourne is rightfully known as being one of the worlds most livable cities. There is plenty to enjoy and explore within the city and regionally as well. Melbourne is known as being the centre for arts and culture and Melbornians are renowned for their love of sport and the hosting of major sporting events.
Should you wish I would be very happy to offer any advise and assistance during your stay. A couple of useful web pages are http://www.visitvictoria.com or http://www.thatsmelbourne.com.au
I am very well traveled & experienced with home exchanges. I have enjoyed some wonderful holidays and have made some warm friendships as a result. I would look after your property as if my own. I am currently a single father to a beautiful 12 y/o boy, who I have part of the time only. I am open to doing a simultaneous, non simultaneous or hospitality type exchanges.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Jonathan
P.S. I have a Volvo wagon for your use as well as a number of bicycles.

Jonathan's reviews
As a host (5)“The airport shuttle dropped us off at the bus stop which was a little too far from Jonathan's place for us to walk to so he came and picked us up which was really nice. He also took us on a walk through the Botanical Gardens. His house, which is very neat and tidy, is in a very quiet street but close to shops, bus, trams and the train station. Easy to get into Melbourne CBD. We used the train mostly as this was the quickest way. (Only about 15 minutes). Jonathan is a great host and we would be happy to go back again. Can highly recommend this place for a house swap.”
“We loved our staying at Jonathans. His place is beautiful and comfortable and he is very kind and quick to respond. The area he lives is a very interesting one with lots of cute and different cafes and shops two blocks from his home. By train you are 15 min in the CBD. Thanks Jonathan!”
“Jonathan is a wonderful man and a perfect host. Always available and caring, helpful and polite. His house is spacious, well organised, cleaned and comfortable. The suburb is conveniently located and well connected to the city center, close to the beach and full of shops, bars, restaurants and other amenities. Highly recommended. Thank you! ”
“Wonderful warm host”
