Much like Kent Street, Guest Street is just on the other side of Glenferrie road and still connects Manningtree Road and Burwood Road. Slopes are gentle on the Landscape.
Housing is predominantly detached double fronted Victorian houses. These streets run close to burwood road and glenferrie road and hence they are many times used to bypass traffic. On street parking by residents and visitors to institutions and commercial areas. You can see trees in like paperback, pin oak etc. Less than 5 meter setback.

"Stay Gold at Golding Street - Indeed Old is Gold"
One would argue why should i rate golding street with precious metal Gold. The answer is simple apart from the rhyme scheme, it is the Commercial value
Mainly a passby street for vehicles with big office premises on either ends. Also provides Parking on the street with some time constraints. Indispensable noise due to Burwood road and nearby railway line
Slope is Moderate to steep. Would rate it as unsafe simply due to the nearby Lynch street which witnesses many Road rage cases
