This studio is exactly what I needed for my 3-month stay. Well located, clean, comfortable, spacious, easy living and working. It felt secure and private. The bathroom was a delight. There was birdsong in the morning, sunlight on the balcony, and natural light pouring in from windows on 3 sides. I loved walking to Gleadell Street market on Saturdays, and Bridge Road shops/cafes on any days. It was easy to walk to East Melbourne, Collingwood, the Central Business District and the rest of Richmond—all great areas to explore. Public transport was excellent too. Beautiful West Richmond station is super-close and the 246 bus on Hoddle Street is frequent and useful. PS As the unit is built on top of a family garage, I did hear the coming/going of cars below, but this just felt like part of the soundtrack and didn't concern me at all.
