Two years ago, my wife and daughter visited Perth for the first time and stayed at this Airbnb hosted by Nathan. While unfamiliar to the new environment, they had a wonderful time. Hence under their recommendations, for my first trip to Perth with my wife recently, we decided to stay with Nathan again.
On arrival, our room was clean and tidy, and with good air-conditioning. The toilets in the house are each shared by two rooms and were kept clean. There was also a washing machine which we could readily use. A variety of drinks, cereal, bread and spreads were provided for breakfast. The house had a warm and comfortable vibe, and I especially enjoyed drinking tea outside the front door in the morning where a small table and chairs had been set up. Since this place is in a residential area, it is more convenient and accessible if you have a car. This is especially at night when the streets are dark due to the lack of streetlights in Perth. But with a car, it is an easily 3-minute drive to the nearest supermarket, and about 12 minutes to the city.
As the host, Nathan was very friendly and meticulous in treating each of his guests. If there was a place in Perth you didn’t know how to go, or if you met any troubles, he would help you to the best he can. He absolutely loves music and even invited us to watch him perform. Unfortunately, while we couldn’t attend his performance, we hope to do so the next time we visit Perth again!
這是我第一次到珀斯這個位於西澳的城市，也是我第一次入住 Airbnb這類的民宿，更是第一次認識Nathan這民宿的主人。
我太太與女兒在兩年前曾入住過 Nathan的房子，不時也能聽到她們提及在那裡遇到的種種經歷，當然其中有苦也有樂，但最後總是充滿喜樂與愉悅。 在她推薦下，我們重訂了 Nathan的房間。不過這已是他新增購的另一幢屋子了。就在他原來的屋子前面，興舊居機乎相連，共用一道闡門。可見他的Airbnb業務發展得不錯呢！
他的人非常熱情友善，做事很有條理，對住客的安排非常細心周到。如果你在珀斯有甚麼地方不懂去，遇到甚麼疑難，相信他定可給你幫上忙。你可以從他提及音樂方面時，便知他是個對音樂充滿熱愛與鐘情的人，混身充滿著激烈沸騰的音樂細胞。很可惜每天四處長途拔的觀光，已接近根疲力盡，沒法抽空去觀看他的演出，希望下一次能騰出時間去欣賞他的演出。
房間整潔舒適，冷氣充足，洗手間是2個房間共用的，也非常乾淨與整潔，與一般酒店無異。洗衣非常方便，只需到洗衣房用洗衣機即可。他的早餐安排也非常周到，有麵包與各類型的榖麥片，咖啡、奶與茶俱備。我很是喜歡他傳統的英式家居佈置，充滿家的溫暖。在大門外置有一張小茶几與坐椅。早上坐在那裡喝著熱茶，看看街外晨早的景致，了解一吓珀斯居民的生活模式，聽聽雀鳥的鳴叫，以是此行珀斯的一大樂事。
但也有美中不足的地方，他房子位處比較深入住宅區，晚上街燈照明不足，出入比較難找路，很容易迷失方何。此次因我們有租車，所以便沒有此問題了，駕車非常方便，只需3分鐘，便可到達旺區了，有百貨商場、各類食肆與超市。
