Staying at John's place was like staying with an old family friend. The room was spacious and comfortable - I was able to work at the desk and have space for yoga and working out.
The back yard is a perfect oasis for morning coffee and evening drinks, and the beaches are just a short walk away, for the most stunning views and hikes, sunbathing or swimming.
Moreover, I am glad to have stayed because of John's hosting and making me feel so welcome. And the dogs were an added bonus! Perth is very far from home but suddenly it wasn't.
