This is the kind of property that makes Airbnb such a great way to plan your trip.

A light spacious bedroom, with a fantastic en suite bathroom and use of your own sitting room/lounge. The access is easy and private through a back door.

Julie thought about all sorts of details from gorgeous towels, to delicious sourdough bread. In the end our paths didn't cross during my stay but Julie was in regular contact by email and text. And even though we didn't see each other I felt very welcome.

The property is just moments from the Cottesloe beach and all the other amenities of this gorgeous neighbourhood. (It's absolutely perfect if you're in the Rottnest Channel swim, which is why I stayed there!)
