We had a wonderful stay at Emilio's place! The apartment was situated in a convenient yet quiet street, just tucked away in the centre of Richmond. Close to the park and also a close stroll to the local shops and restaurants.
The place itself was very tastefully decorated and full of character. My girlfriend and I fell in love with some of the decors that we couldn't help but ask Emilio where he got them from! The couch was incredibly comfortable. One thing to note is that the apartment is mostly open space so there isn't too much soundproofing, it only became an issue for us as a few members of the family needed to WFH during the lockdown.
The highlight of the stay for us was how helpful Emilio was when one of the lightbulbs stopped working and needed to be replaced. He truly went above and beyond as a host and communications with him were very pleasant throughout the entire stay.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place if you're looking for a unique and cozy stay in Melbourne! Would definitely come back again if we have the chance.
