I had a lovely stay at Lisa's flat, which is very clean, comfortable, sunny and nicely decorated. I would definitely stay again. The shower, bed and internet service were all great and it was useful to have a washing machine as well as a full kitchen. It has a good view out both windows in particular looking east in the direction of the Yarra River which has a lot of tall trees growing on its banks. There was a small flock of sulphur-crested cockatoos swooping from tree to tree and calling most mornings - very beautiful birds :)
On a practical note, the flat is very close to Officeworks, which was hugely handy for printing and scanning documents, which I had to do quite a bit of. The flat is also very close to some nice restaurants and bars and offered both good breakfast and dinner options. The transport links were great. It was also nice to be able to take walks by the Yarra. Hard to fault it really. I love Richmond as an area generally and will always base myself there when in Melbourne.
