We had a wonderful long week end at Jo's place.
We were happy to be able to arrive late in the evening at our own convenience using the simple access instructions Jo had sent us. Even though we weren't met personally there had been such good quality information provided in advance (and in the apartment itself) that we were never left in doubt about anything - from where to find the bins, the supermarket, the parking space to where to eat and drink locally. All the stuff you want to know. The apartment also contained plenty of Melbourne information, tourist guides etc, as well as good quality magazines and some DVD's if there was any "at home" time.
The apartment is a few steps from Richmond train station and Swan Street, but being at the rear of the development there was no traffic noise. There was no resident noise either so 5 stars for peace and quiet.
The furnishings and appointments were top quality, everything was immaculately clean, the bed was super comfy and there were plenty of towels etc provided. It was bright and airy with a nice little enclosed balcony complete with table and chairs. The kitchen was well stocked with all the gear you could possibly need to make a meal at home (but with so many fantastic bars, cafes and restaurants within easy strolling distance there wasn't much need!)
Tea, coffee (instant and plunger), biscuits and even staples like oil, salt and pepper, shampoo, conditioner and body wash were provided.
From start to finish Jo was a pleasure to deal with - instant responses to any questions.
All in all an excellent airbnb experience - again!
