Richard's loft is in a great suburb (with plenty of character) that is only tram stops away from the CBD. There is literally a tram stop outside the apartment door!
The loft is has plenty of room, is tastefully furnished and is quite tidy - it has everything that one needs in a holiday rental.
Communicating with Richard was always a breeze - clear and helpful messages, replies were always prompt.
I would not hesitate to recommend both Richard as a host and his apartment as a place to stay in Melbourne.
