Staying at Bernie and Bruce's place is like staying with your own family in your home. They are the most loveliest couple who were most generous with me to ensure I had the best stay possible. They offered me their bikes to take out for a ride and went above and beyond in washing my pullovers, drying them and neatly bringing them back to my room folded in a plastic bag. While not a service offered in the listing, it was a gratuitous gesture on behalf of the hosts and one which saved me having to buy new clothes for the conference I was attending.
Upon entry to your room you feel a great sense of cosiness, privacy and comfort. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided, including a sufficient portion of breakfast cereal, fruit,juice and milk and all plates and cutlery. In addition, the wardrobe/drawer chest is large enough to hang/fold all your clothes in (coat hangers are provided). An iron board, iron and very large umbrella is also provided for your use.
The bathroom is clean and contains shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste and tissues. A luxury Sheridan towel is included for your use too. The room features a neat desk for work and you get your own remote controlled heater/air conditioner which can get the room nice and toasty during winter.
Bernie and Bruce are unobtrusive yet are still concerned that you have a good stay. They allowed me to check in early as well as check out late for my flight. The private entry allowed me to go and come as I pleased without feeling I was intruding on their own personal privacy.
And the neighbourhood which they live in is surely one of Perths best kept secret attractions - it is beautiful!! Perfectly located just a 10 min walk from the river, there are a host of good cafes and restaurants and stunning walking trails and park areas to relax in with city views.
I couldn't have asked for anything more and know the time I'm coming to Perth I'll be staying here again!
