David was prompt and friendly, despite the crazy Melbourne rain that coincided with our meet up. That part of Collingwood is always great to hang out in, with Smith St and Gertrude St just around the corner. The studio is perfectly situated across the road from South of Johnson so you can beat those brunch queues and duck in late for a cuppa and a chat with its friendly owner, Stuart. For a special night out Cutler and Co is a short walk away.

The studio itself was compact, comfortable and contemporary - I was the first to try out the beautiful new black oak flooring and the shower was fabulous. I particularly loved David's collection of prints. Fruit was a thoughtful addition to the tea and coffee station. Happy to recommend it to anyone visiting Melbourne.
