I couldn't have asked for a better first experience in Perth. Michele welcomed me into her home on a cold, blustery day with a hot cup of coffee- along with some great conversation. The accommodations she provided for myself, and my honours supervisor (Jan-Marten), were second to none. Both the room and bathroom were spotless; and the kitchenette (in the suite) was stocked full of food for breakfast. YUM! Both Jan and I felt genuinely humbled by the warm, gracious nature of Michele and her family. If you are ever in Perth, I highly recommend staying at the Rose on Surrey!
