Perfect for an extended getaway or long weekend where you want to spread out and relax in this safe and quiet neighborhood. Centrally located, and with an array of entertainment options on your doorstep, you’ll be spoiled for choice and will be sure to return for more. Private garage, public transports all around, powerful WIFI, BBQ. A spacious getaway bathed in natural light and featuring welcoming and modern decor, this property is the perfect place to unwind and entertain after a day of sightseeing. The master bedroom features a queen-sized bed, with 2 single beds in the second bedroom, fitted with hotel quality linen. Both bedrooms have direct access to the spacious main courtyard, perfect for families who would like a little extra space or for some morning yoga in the privacy of the greenery draped walls. This property has an abundance of communal space, with a lounge, dining room and internal courtyard surrounding the kitchen, making it a hub of activity with plenty of room for relaxation. The lounge features a large TV and chromecast, with smart capabilities so you won’t have to fall behind on your latest Netflix binge. The internal courtyard is an ideal entertaining space, with a gas BBQ and outdoor setting for you to soak in the morning Melbourne air with a fresh cup of coffee. The kitchen is the heart of the property, with stone benchtops and all the essentials provided, whether you’re cooking up a storm or looking for a quiet cuppa. The bar-style seating at the centre island is perfect for you to have a chat and a glass of wine while you prepare dinner, or for a casual breakfast before a long day wandering the streets of Melbourne. Conveniently provided is a dedicated private parking space, garaged to cater to our guests. You will also have access to the fully fitted out laundry, with a washer and dryer included for your stay. If you’re looking for the true ‘Melbourne Experience’, Richmond is the place to be. Located in the inner suburbs of Melbourne, Richmond is centrally located for many of the key attractions that will bring you to our beautiful city. There are convenient public transport options to the inner city, however, the local area also brings a wealth of things to keep you busy. From visiting the bustling stretch of Victoria Street known as ‘Little Saigon’, to wandering the lush expanses of public parklands, there is something for everyone in Richmond. Although the property is situated on a quiet residential street, you are a minute walk from Bridge Road (@bridgerd.richmond on Instagram), the main shopping and entertainment precinct. Here you’ll find an array of modern eateries, fashion and arts and culture events, dispersed between trendy pubs and outlet stores. Regularly featured in the global ‘most livable cities in the world’, Melbourne is a hub for arts, culture and entertainment, with something for everyone. Melbourne is host to a number of sporting and entertainment events throughout the year, which allows you to take advantage of the world class public transport system that we are known for. The sporting complex housing the MCG is less than 15 minutes by public transport from the heart of Richmond, and a direct route to the CBD is even less. Nearby, in the upscale South Yarra, you can take advantage of the galleries, cocktail lounges and Prahran markets, serving up gourmet foodstuff daily. No property is fully empty. We’ll book another clean soon for linen etc. Today is just emptybpripert \- Strictly no parties \- Stays including pets must be notified and agreed with us prior to book \- Dishes must be cleaned before you checkout (you are welcome to launch the dishwasher when you depart) \- The key must be returned to the key safe, additional keys and parking remote must be left on the coffee table when you leave. ## Property amenities ### Internet -
