From the moment I arrived to Emma's place in Richmond, I felt at home. Her apartment is decorated beautifully and very tidy! The complex has a very luxurious spa/pool/gym area that is lovely to use when looking to relax. The location is superb and very easy into the city with just a couple minutes walk to two trams.
The bedroom is HUGE with your own beautiful, modern bathroom and tons of storage. Gorgeous space with wonderful sunlight shining through the big windows during the day. The bed, bedding, and pillows were very comfy!
The Yarra will be your backyard :) Quiet and peaceful scenery all around. There is a beautiful, grassy area just before the trail along the river which is nice to enjoy during sunny weather. Walking along the river is also a beautiful way to explore both Richmond and nearby Hawthorn and highly recommended.
Eateries and shops are plentiful. There is a cafe near for everyone's taste... or a pub :) Victoria Gardens is a huge shopping center with a movie theater, Ikea, Kmart, Coles, etc. less than a 10 min straight shot along the river. Everything imaginable is a short distance away.
I really feel in love with the area and cannot thank Emma enough. I feel so lucky to have met her!
