We never met Marcus, there was no need, instructions on how to get in and where to pick up the keys were sent by email, which worked fine.

The apartment is an older style one and rather quirky in some respects. The location is very central with most city activities within walking distance. There is a dedicated parking spot in the secure garage, also great for a city centre location. Train station is 5 minutes away.

Of the 2 bedrooms, the one at the back is quieter, the one at the front has noise from the commercial premises backing onto the shared laneways plus street noise at weekends. Not too bad but it is there.

There is a laundry with dryer and a clothes line you can put up in the courtyard out back. There is no air conditioning but good ceiling fans.

Kitchen/diner has full stove, full size fridge freezer kettle and microwave.

Easy walk to lots of affordable eating places, middle eastern, Asian, Korean, Indian. You need to go a bit further afield for a selection of more up market restaurants, no problem if you have a car.

We would stay there again if ever in Perth.
