This was the second time that we'd stayed at Colin's lovely Clifton Hill home and everything was perfect, as was our first stay. My partner, mom and I were down in Melbourne for the Aus Open and Colin's place was perfect for a two night stay - close and easy access to the city, but quiet neighbourhood with lots of great cafes, restaurants and shops nearby. The house is so chic in the way Colin has decorated and it's fully decked out with everything that you'd need for a few days away (great to have a wine stopper for our bottle of champagne and the carton of milk is a lovely touch for your morning coffee!). We also took advantage of the great back yard area with outdoor seating during our stay as the weather was perfect!
Not relevant for us, but Colin's place would also suit families with young children - there were high chairs and other gear available for babies, which was such a considerate touch!
Thanks again Colin - we love your home so much that I imagine it will be our go to spot whenever we visit Melbourne!
