River is an excellent host. We were in town for our son's wedding and stayed at river house for 6 days. On our arrival we had a couple of requests which she attended to immediately. We also requested a full length mirror which she delivered the very next day. My husband really appreciated the brand new electric kettle for his morning tea. For two of us it was very comfortable and spacious. The proximity of the good sized shower in the bedroom was not a problem at all for us, though I could see that with more people it might be a little awkward. It is in a great location...walking distance to Eastern Market metro, shops and great restaurants, waterfront and the ball park.
