We spent two days at Xavier's 'Le Cherche-Midi' in the lead up to Christmas — a mini-break in Fremantle before the (lovely) madness of a big family get together. The place was clean and peaceful, with two balconies, a very comfortable bed, and all you could need in terms of kitchen appliances. It's mid-summer and the rooms stayed cool; we appreciated the overhead fan and air-con. Breakfast was a plus and Xavier was an excellent communicator. You're in a great spot here to take in many of Freo's nightspots and restaurants. We'll be back.
