My wife and I stayed with Nischal for a weekend while visiting Melbourne and had great time. He was kind enough to meet us late, around 10:30pm when we got to his apartment after a late flight and trip from the Airport. The guest room was modern, clean, had plenty of space, and was stocked with free refreshments and bottled water (nice touch)! There is also a fat screen TV with an Apple TV, we signed into our Netflix account and stayed in one night to watch a movie. The private bathroom was nice and spacious, and Nischal provided a hair dryer (useful for visitors from the US or other countries that have 120V hair dryers and don't own a 240V hair dryer).
My wife and I were pretty busy during our time in Melbourne but Nischal gave us some tips for good places to eat and drink in the neighborhood that we enjoyed. Richmond is a great neighborhood to explore in Melbourne, lots of great shopping, eating and drinking within walking distance. We had brunch at Top Paddock across the street and it was outstanding.
Also, Nischal has two myki cards he lent us so we could use public transit. That helped since you can't get on a tram or train outside the free zone without a myki card (side note- they really should make this easier for tourists, I shouldn't need to buy a $6 card to use public transit just for a single weekend).
We had a great stay with Nischal, his apartment is nice, Richmond is a cool neighborhood, and he is a great host!
