Raphael's home is a beautiful, spacious and comfortable place to stay while in Melbourne. The check-in process was extremely easy and allowed us to start our Melbourne right away. We did have trouble with the hot water but the issue disappeared by the morning; communication about the issue between the host and myself was very responsive.
There are many excellent cafes around the place and the main strip of Brunswick street is a short walk away. I would happily stay here again next time i come to Melbourne.
