The place is nice and cosy as per shown in the pictures. Perfect for two individuals or three (if two person do not mind sharing the same room and bed). The kitchen is well equipped with everything that you need to start with. Peter has been a great help by offering us with a rice cooker voluntarily and a new pan and chopping board the very next day after we requested for it. The washing machine is in a separate laundry room just opposite the unit. While there is no dryer, the washing machine does a pretty good job in spinning off the water. We often get our clothes perfectly dried within a night, hanging our clothing indoors. There is air-conditioning only in the living room, so it can be a little stuffy when the weather gets warm (30 degrees). Peter did provide us blankets. So during the cooler weather (below 8-12 degrees), it was manageable in the room.
The city is really near which is a bonus and added convenience. You can take two alternating bus services by the main street (Labouchere Rd), running on 30 minute frequency, arriving at Elizabeth Quay in 10 minutes. If you like, you can walk leisurely down Labouchere Rd, passing by Perth Zoo and take a ferry to the city too. It is also about 10 minutes walk away to Coode St where there is a free shuttle bus service to Curtin University for convenient commute.
The nearest supermarket is IGA, just a street down and there are other eatery stalls around. You got to try the sushi from the stall beside the bakery that sells fish too. Their sushi is my personal favourite during my time of stay in Perth. The Gelato shop across the road (Jersey Jack) is pretty good too! We also enjoyed walks by the river to appreciate the scenic view of the river.
This place is liken a second home for my friend and I during our two months stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Peter's place, especially the kind offers and ready help Peter had provided us to settle in and check out. We miss our stay. If you are looking for a peaceful quiet stay away from home, yet still convenient to travel about by public transport, this is a perfect place.
