Doing the work for accomodation at the hostel was a truly fantastic experience. The hostel itself is one of the best in Melbourne by a long shot, super friendly atmosphere and people, and great amenities and location. The work arrangement itself we found was super flexible and catered as much as possible towards our own schedule. We met great friends here and would highly recommend this experience!
