Phoebe’s loft style apartment is really stylishly decorated and quickly feels like your home away from home. I loved being able to come and go as I pleased and having the lock box for the key meant that I did not have to carry the house key every time I left the house and went for a run or stroll. Phoebe was also great at communicating with me via the app, and provided friendly reminders to set the rubbish bins out.
The upstairs bed is so very comfortable...be careful as you might easily loose your day lazing cuddled up in the fluffy doona. The rugs and linens are heavenly. The desk space and seating options are fantastic upstairs. The walk in closet is enormous for one person with plenty of extra bedding if you need it. An excellent hair dryer was available in the bathroom.
I would recommend bringing your own extension cord or power strips as it can be hard to find power outlets for charging if you are more than one person with a few electronics.
The kitchen had everything I needed except for a french press so that I could make my own loose leaf tea or pour over coffee. Instant coffee granules and tea bags, plus sugar were provided by the host. There is plenty of cabinet and refrigerator space for storing your own groceries. There were plenty of pots, cutting-boards and cutlery available. The grocery store is about a 15 minute walk to IGA and Coles is a bit further. If you prefer, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes just down the street, a 10-15 minute walk.
I loved the proximity to the lake for walking or running. It is a bit of a walk from the train line, so I used Uber to get down to CBD. The bus line is available, but a bit less convenient.
The upstairs bathroom has a bit of a ventilation issue so be sure to keep the window open. The apartment entrance is on a traffic heavy street. You can hear the traffic noise from the bedroom and living room. I put the TV on as background noise to drown out the sound of cars driving by. At first I felt a bit unsafe since the glass front door is on the main street. I had planned on sitting outside to have my coffee and meals in the cute outdoor lounge space shown in the pictures, but it is just too noisy and not very private feeling. I still loved this space and would probably book it again if I wanted to stay near the hustle and bustle of Leederville.
