Helen’s studio is a lovely base for enjoying Albany. The studio has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. Helen is a very friendly, helpful host and genuinely loves dogs.
A comfy queen size bed provided an excellent night’s sleep and the studio always felt cosy and warm so we didn’t even employ any extra heating in early May. The kitchenette is well supplied for simple needs and there are many excellent (dog friendly) cafés, restaurants and pubs for more substantial meals.
Helen’s studio is in the lovely backyard of her cottage. It has a gate entry at the back which gives you a short walk up the hill to Mount Melville to enjoy the views or to the shops along Albany Highway. The yard has a barbecue if you want to cook and table and chairs undercover.
This part of Albany is lovely to walk around with majestic old properties, cute cottages and gardens and exciting modern architecture. We very much enjoyed daily visits to the nearby Vancouver Café. Next time I’ll get a loyalty card! It’s also only a very short walk to the shopping strip in York Street.
Albany has a lot to offer visitors with so many fantastic walks, eateries and friendly locals. Helen’s place is super comfy and central.
