It was my first time doing such home stay and I actually chose them because of the many good reviews I saw. Truly, I must say Ian and Amy have made my experience a good one and I really would like to reciprocate by adding on to the many good reviews.

On the very first day when we arrived, we took their pick up service for AUD$40 which was really worth it when you compare it to other transportation fees for the two of us. We met Ian at the airport and it was easy to recognise him with the cowboy hat at the cafe. He drove and showed us around the place while en route to the market for breakfast, and even gave some good recommendations such as a cheap and good breakfast place, which we ended up going almost every day!

Ian and Amy are really amiable and hospitable to all guests. To them, they want to achieve a happy home stay style where everyone can be casual and happy staying together in a house. They warmly extend invitations to join them for dinner whenever they are cooking their own dinner. Ian even took time in the evening to drive us out to show us around the city area such as Kings Park and places good for some photos that I missed out even when I have the car to move around in the day. At the end of our stay, Ian also gave us Australia’s pure honey as a gift.

However, if you belong to the shy group and would just like to have your own space in the room, they do respect that and are not the pushy type. They will not disturb you when you are in your room.

The house, room and toilet are clean and tidy. I feel comfortable staying there and felt like I’m staying at home even though I’m a tourist. We also rented Ian’s car from him for AUD$30/day which I thought it is a bonus as we do not have to bother finding car rentals elsewhere by ourselves and it is really convenient.

The location of the house is good as well because it is only a few bus stops away from the Murdoch train station where you can also take buses to Fremantle for about 20 – 30 minutes. It is also about 20-30minutes drive away from Perth CBD area. The café, which serve all day breakfast that Ian recommended to us, is also nearby the house. They have a breakfast set for only AUD$10. It is a generous serving and really worth the price. Do check that out with Ian and I’m sure he will gladly show you the place. Otherwise, you can have bread/cereal at his place for breakfast, which they generously provides.

This is one highly recommended reliable and trustworthy Airbnb place that you don't have to worry getting cheated or that it is a scam!
