David and Pat were exceptional hosts. Communication from the moment we booked was expedient and extremely helpful. David greeted us upon arrival and took the time to show us around the lovely South Melbourne neighborhood. He pointed out shops of interest, restaurants, wine boutiques, and also oriented us to traffic patterns and particularly Melbourne features that might pose challenges for us. We later realized how helpful this information was as we explored the beautiful environs of historic South Melbourne. David was a great source of information for our week- long stay in the area. Perhaps best of all, his unique and vibrant artwork adorned the walls of the abundantly equipped and comfortable apartment and made us realize how lucky we were to have landed in the Artist's Studio!
