Tara’s place is simply the best Airbnb my husband and I have ever stayed at! Cosy, modern and quiet, it’s the perfect spot in Richmond that is close to the bustling Swan St (5 min walk). Tara’s place boasts of the warmth of exposed brickwork alongside contemporary touches of comfort!
The townhouse is 3 stories high - basement with laundry, stunning kitchen with courtyard & great views of the city, then the top level hosts 2 bedrooms. The bedroom we stayed in was spacious with ample wardrobe space. There was also a little balcony. The bed was so comfortable with extra pillows & an extra fluffy blanket. The bathroom was a great size with modern rain shower and normal shower head! Our favourite was the fireplace though :)
Tara is such a great host & we were lucky enough to be her first guests! She prepared extra keys for us and even a parking permit just out the front of her house. Whilst it was our first time sharing a room (as opposed to staying in an entire apartment without anyone else there) Tara was very respectful of our privacy and left us alone to do our thing most of the time, but was also keen to chat & share stories when we were around the house. She also went above & beyond to let us store some of our luggages after check out.
I know this is so long but Tara’s place is definitely worth it. So close to lots of foods, shops, bars and Coles (we also walked to the MCG from hers approximately 15 mins), really warm and inviting home, with a great host! I would say we would definitely stay here again when we’re back in Melbourne but we have now moved to Melbourne and are keeping in touch with Tara :)
