Hands down Richmond is the BEST part of Melbourne and why would you stay in the city if you could stay in the 'real' Melbourne? Even better, if you could stay in a well-appointed, very comfortable, sparkling clean, fully contained and private space? This is what Mel's accommodation offers. Do yourself a favour and DON'T book into a nameless city hotel or apartment. Go to Richmond and stay at Mel's. But don't tell too many people or else everyone will stay there and you won't be able to get in! Thanks, Mel. Fabulous space! Appreciate all your kindnesses.
