Richard and Colin were very helpful and kind and quick in communications from the time we booked till we left the apartment. They happily shared local information about places to eat and get shopping supplies etc. They also were kind enough to keep our luggage after check out until we were ready to go to the airport. Excellent location with an IGA very close by and also Sopranos pizzeria (great pizza and food). The apartment was clean and tidy and well appointed and exactly like pictures. Warm and cosy on a windy winters night. Short walk to central Melbourne and Flinders St station and Fed Square to get free shuttle bus to Chadstone. Very close to ballet and Arts Centre and Southgate which has with great shops and restaurants. Great vintage clothes shop in Southgate - American Rag. We really enjoyed our stay at Richard and Colin's place and would highly recommend and happily stay again. We really enjoyed our time in Melbourne and this apartment is a little gem tucked away in busy Melbourne and great location to hit the streets for shopping and eating out. Thanks again Richard and Colin. We will recommend to friends travelling to Mebourne.
