We had a great stay at Ione and Mark's place. They definitely go above and beyond by providing lots of little goodies on arrival (fruit, biscuits, guidebooks, etc - and the Myki cards were a perfect addition for us out-of-towners). The accommodation was very clean, modern and well appointed. The location was perfect for us as we went to a couple of footy games at the MCG, but the surrounding area is great for trams, restaurants and shopping too. Being winter it was great to lay in and watch tv from the comfort of the queen bed with the heating working very well. We've stayed in other areas around Melbourne but Richmond is our new favourite. Thanks Ione & Mark!
