We stayed at Martin's place in North Fremantle for about a week. It's a great spot to stay in a lovely neighbourhood. You can sit on the little balcony and watch the ships out on the ocean. Nice coffee shop if you walk down to the highway with great sandwiches. Bike parks to explore along the river. You can walk to the beach by crossing the railway. There are some nice places for breakfast down by the Fremantle surf club. Martin was quick to respond to his messages. I would recommend Martins place if you are looking to stay in this area.
