Melanie and family were very easy going and welcoming hosts that provided a very comfortable experience, happy to have a glass of wine and a chat or leave you to your own devices. Their Stable loft is indeed quirky and was a lot of fun to stay in.
Initial communication was very prompt and check-in time was flexible. Melanie provided me with a parking pass for my stay, allowing me to park safely outside their house - a real bonus for an inner-city suburb.
The Stable's location in Richmond is fantastic for a city stay and provides easy access to adjacent inner-city suburbs and also a quick route back to the airport at the end.
The loft space has a lot of character and was spacious and private. As described, it is quirky and retro and feels like you're stepping back in time. I feel it offered great value and suited me perfectly. I'd look to stay here again on my next visit to town.
