We can’t say enough about our hosts Deb and Richard. They were wonderful at every stage of our month-long visit to Melbourne.
Deb answered our question about the property we as we were booking with them—and she responded so quickly!
Next, Deb and Richard met us at their spectacular property on the morning we arrived. After a flight from North America, we were exhausted, so their cordiality, their efficiency, and the pitcher of cool water in the fridge were all a wonderful welcome.
Their property is truly a dream. The floor plan, the personal touches, Deb’s use of color—all of these details made us so comfortable. We needed working spaces and loved the desk where we could use our laptops. I found the couch with extension perfect for reading and for chugging through emails. Loved it!
The 24-7 concierge service in the building was impeccable. We rarely needed their support as everything about the apartment and the building were perfect, but had we required anything--they would have acted quickly and graciously.
We tumbled out our front entrance into a lovely little square with eateries blooming everywhere. Deb and Richard have great advice about the ones tucked away from the busy South Bank. We fell hard for the Thailander and ate there often. They stocked the apartment with useful menus, travel information, and explanations for all the well-appointed appliances.
We are pretty familiar with Melbourne from our annual visits, so we can say with confidence that the location is superb for anyone interested in the arts and performing arts, the vast public gardens where one can run or stroll, and lovely river walks. Tram stops are easy to catch on St. Kilda, so getting around the city is a breeze.
We had a wonderful stay and hope to return to our fabulous Melbourne hosts.
