I highly recommend Richa’s place if you want a convenient place to stay in the center of Melbourne. It’s within a 45 minute walk to a number of tourist attractions and hundreds of bars and restaurants. It also has a great view out over the city from her balcony, especially at sunrise and sunset. Everything in the apartment is new, clean, and easy to find.
Our only issue with the stay was that because the host was out of the country at the time of our arrival, the concierge in charge of letting us into the flat agreed to meet us at a specified time but then was 45 minutes late. They did contact us at a number we didn’t have access to because of traveling internationally with a brief text message saying they would be late, but they didn’t contact us at the number we had given when we called to arrange the arrival time, nor did they answer their phone at the number we had for them during the 45 minutes we were trying to find out what was going on. This problem probably won’t occur again, but if it does, find a place with WiFi to contact Richa. Even on her own holiday in Europe, she was quick at responding to questions we had once we got access to her!
