Carmen is a fantastic host for whom nothing seemed too much trouble. She took me shopping on arrival and picked me up from the local station after I’d returned my hire car at the end of my visit. She also washed some of my clothes for me, and was forever offering me clean towels. Her property is of an older style which may not appeal to everyone, but it’s extremely clean and very comfortable. The en suite bathroom is small but perfectly adequate and the water was always piping hot. The air conditioning in my room was particularly welcome as I stayed during a very hot spell. Her swimming pool is also large, clean and a real pleasure to swim in. The location is excellent, being close to a bus stop, a few minutes from the large Whitfords shopping centre and Hillarys boat harbour and a short drive to the freeways. It is also very quiet. Carmen really looked after me, was pleasure to spend time chatting to, but also respected my privacy.
