We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "the Stables". The accommodation was perfect for our 1 night stay in Melbourne, and Ione kindly provided us with a portacot for our 5 month old baby. We loved the quiet laneway access, yet being walking distance to two of the popular and lively streets in Richmond (Swan St and Bridge Rd). On Ione's recommendation we visited their local, "Rowena Corner Store" and had a delicious breakfast and enjoyed the friendly local atmosphere. We'll definitely be staying again on our next Melbourne visit!
