The location is fantastic, surrounded by parks and the beautiful Swan river. The free CAT bus is a few steps away, across a footbridge, it takes you to the CBD and the main train station, and comes by about every 5 minutes during business hours (the CBD is only a 30 minute walk anyway). Also a few steps away there is a foot/bicycle path along the river which connects with other paths. A hundred metres from the house you have a full view of the beautiful new Matagarup footbridge across the Swan. The neighbourhood has the shops i needed, places to eat, a micro brewery and the only urban micro distillery in Australia. The house spacious, i had a chance to meet other guests from around the world, and the continental breakfast supplied was welcome. Good value, i can definitely recommend.
