We really enjoyed staying in Sue's apartment in Fremantle. The room itself was cosy (and was great to retreat back to on cold stormy days). It also has a good sized bathroom and a powerful shower with plenty of hot water. The bed itself was really comfortable with a great duvet and a lot of blankets which was perfect for chilly nights. There was also a portable heater you could use if you wanted extra warmth!
It was great to have a nice lounge as well to relax in and amenities like a microwave and fridge incase we ever wanted to bring back a takeaway. Sue gave us a set of keys and we could enter and exit through the patio door in the bedroom which meant that we had our own private entrance and could come and go as we pleased.
Sue left us some really useful maps of Fremantle and Perth which we relied on quite a lot to get around. The location of the apartment is just outside of Fremantle town and is a relaxing 20mins walk in. We enjoyed being outside of the town and there are also cafes and areas to explore on your way into town. Sue also gave us ideas of what we could do during our five day trip which we found useful.
We used public transport to get from Perth airport to Fremantle and to the apartment. Not as convenient as a taxi but much cheaper, costing in the range of $8-$10. It took us about 90mins and we didn't mind the journey. Sue was in regular communication with us from the moment we booked and helpfully outlined the different ways we could travel from the airport as well as the associated cost. We also used the transperth connect website.
Sue has two lovely dogs called Panda and Scribbles who came to greet us when we first arrived. We only wish we had more time playing with them! Overall a lovely and relaxing stay.
