My host was Marie's friend Sharon rather than Marie herself. Sharon was lovely, very generous, warm-hearted and friendly, but never intrusive. The home was spacious and well decorated with a large guest area. The outdoor kitchen and shower as well as large floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking the garden and chicken run were the architectural highlights. There was also an indoor shower and bath in a modern and clean bathroom with plenty of cupboard space. The outdoor kitchen had a small fridge with supplies for my first breakfast inside, as well as all the fresh eggs I could want. I enjoyed many tasty breakfasts of scrambled eggs on the verandah. Sharon was very helpful and accommodating and we even shared cooking tips and ingredients. The bedroom was on the smaller side, but not cramped with two side tables, a small set of drawers and a chair. The bed was clean and comfortable and supplied with a variety of pillows. My only two niggles were that the room was quite warm at all times in summer (I'm a Melbourne native) and the blinds did not exclude all the light (I'm fond of sleeping in). I had hoped that the room itself would have an air-conditioner, but it is the limitation of the listings here that this cannot be guaranteed. Overall though I became used to the weather, and the supplied fan was very effective and quiet. The location was a moderate distance from the city with a trip taking about 35 minutes on public transport, which ran until about 11pm. It was also quite well situated for the Morely shopping centre which was essential given the decentralised nature of Perth's retailers. My trip was incredibly enjoyable and made much more comfortable by the features and attention to detail of Marie's home and Sharon's hosting. Thank you.
