Additional Location Information

Richmond is a busy bustling, inner city suburb made colorful by the varied backgrounds of those that live and work there. Once working class industrial areas they became home to a large Greek population from the 1950’s and then later attracted many people from South East Asia, particularly Vietnam.

The close proximity to the city and sporting venues such as the MCG, home to the AFL (Aussie Rules Football) and Laver Arena, make this part of town popular with tourists and locals alike.

While you can walk down Victoria Street with its fascinating array of Asian produce and great restaurants and imagine you’re in Saigon, you can also enjoy some fantastic Greek dips and moussaka in Swan Street! Many tourists and indeed those from all over Melbourne head to Bridge Road, home to fashion factory outlets including, Esprit, Country Road, Sportsgirl, just to name a few and almost any other fashion outlet you can think of. You can also enjoy a wide range of great food and drinking places too.

Many of the factories that once existed in Richmond and Abbotsford have now been converted into stylish apartments or glamorous commercial premises. Try and spot Kylie Minogue’s converted wheat silo apartment shaped like a rusty ship!

  So Much Better Than a hotel

  Left on 05/02/2013 for a stay in July 2012
  
  

  Great location and nice light and bright apartment. Quiet too. So much nicer to stay in these apartments than a hotel - no banging doors, noisy plumbing or reception to negotiate every time you walk in and out. Great not to have to pay extra for off street parking also. The guys from apartment2C look after these apartments well, they'are always clean and have everything you need. Enjoyed watching a few movies that were provided with the rental.

  Great Location, Good Value

  Left on 04/29/2013 for a stay in April 2013
  
  

  I stayed a month in this apartment and found that it met my needs for a comfortable and inexpensive (for Melbourne) residence. The apartment was clean, quiet, sunny, comfortable, and in a neighborhood full of restaurants, shops and cafes. Best of all, there are several tram stops within a block or so, so getting around is easy. Another plus was the coin-operated laundry facilities located on each floor.
