EXCERPT FROM TIMEOUT

THE 49 COOLEST NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE WORLD

‘We polled 27,000 city-dwellers and asked local experts to rank the greatest places for food, fun, culture and community’

Richmond ranked #10 and here’s what they had to say about the area:


Separated from the CBD by Melbourne’s sporting precinct, this area along the Birrarung (Yarra River) was a gathering place for members of the Kulin Nation long before the stadiums were erected. There are three distinct vibes here: Victoria Street is Melbourne’s go-to destination for Vietnamese food; Bridge Road is known for its factory outlets, both fashion and furniture; and Swan Street brims with some of the suburb’s best restaurants and cafés. And Richmond is home to one of Melbourne’s most beloved live music institutions, the Corner Hotel. It’s also a very community-minded suburb, with the Richmond Churches Food Centre distributing much-needed food to anyone who needs it for the past 30 years – including all through Melbourne’s lockdowns. Yarra Council, which includes Richmond, was one of the first local governments in the world to declare a climate emergency, and has committed to an ambitious plan to make the suburb greener for good.

The perfect day: Start your day with blueberry-and-ricotta hotcakes at Church Street café, Top Paddock, then do a bit of window (or actual!) shopping at the outlets along nearby Bridge Road. Pick up a bánh mi for lunch at Phuoc Thanh. If there’s no sport on, you can go on a behind-the-scenes tour at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. In the evening, settle into the Corner Hotel for a proper pub meal and rock out to some live music.

Plan your trip: For when the footy’s on. If the Richmond Tigers are playing, don yellow and black and join the Tiger Army.

Your apartment is located on Bridge Rd, making public transport a breeze.

Richmond is easily accessible from the city via tram or train. Richmond Station is a major train station served by several train lines. Parking is readily available in parking lots and leafy side streets.

AFFILIATION WITH RECEPTION & BUILDING CONCIERGE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》Where your property is located in a building with staff, please be advised that we are in no way affiliated with the operations of the building. Reception staff, building concierge and/or management will be unable to assist you with your booking in ANY capacity including baggage storage and key collection/drop off. Please contact us EXCLUSIVELY if you need to discuss your booking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SAME-DAY BOOKINGS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》We have a booking lead time 1 day in order to schedule housekeeping & check-in requirements for the following day. For this reason, we cannot always guarantee a check-in time of 3pm for last-minute bookings, especially where there is a departing guest. Priority is given to guests who have booked in advance and need to be checked in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EARLY CHECK-IN REQUESTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》We strongly advise you to plan around a 3pm check-in. When your place is ready, we will let you know. If you definitely require earlier access, consider booking the night before if available. Whilst we do our best to accommodate, please understand that, unlike hotels, we don't have a different room to give you. This means if a guest is checking out on the day of your arrival, housekeeping needs time to prepare everything and we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LATE CHECK-OUT REQUESTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》May be possible depending on bookings and housekeeping schedules. Please contact us after 8pm the day before your departure to confirm. We will do our best to accommodate. If you require a check-out later than 12pm, an additional night will be charged and collected through the Airbnb Resolution Centre. This must be paid the night before check-out or housekeeping will be scheduled for 10am as per normal check-out time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PRIVATE SECURITY PATROL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》We have a private security company that regularly patrols this property to ensure appropriate guest behavior.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
STARTER SUPPLIES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》Our spaces are fully stocked to ensure you have the comforts of home during your stay. This includes toiletries, fresh towels, tea, coffee, and kitchen essentials. We also provide a limited number of dishwasher and laundry pods. We provide enough of the above items to get you started and is not intended to last for the duration of your stay. If you run out during your stay, you can reach out to our team to find nearby stores and delivery services. Alternatively, you may order additional suppliers directly from us.

BABY EQUIPMENT FOR HIRE

》Window cleaning is the Owner's Corporation responsibility. They manage these services according to a set schedule. Unfortunately, we have no control over the state of the external windows at all and apologise in advance if you happen to book at a time where they are in a state that requires cleaning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AIRBNB SECURITY DEPOSIT HOLD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》Airbnb automatically places an authorization hold on Security Deposits for all listings TWO DAYS PRIOR TO CHECK-IN. If Airbnb is unable to do this, you will be notified by email with the opportunity to try another payment method within 12 hours. After that, Airbnb will automatically cancel your reservation.
