Rachel and Paul's place is perfect for a holiday in Perth or like us, a longer stint. We stayed for 2 months and the apartment was perfect. Had everything we needed and Rachel and Paul were fantastic hosts: they gave us tips about the area and were always happy to stop and chat.
The location is great although like most places in Perth it's best if you have a car. If you are using public transport it's about 30-40 minutes into the city and the same to Fremantle. Both just a single bus ride so nice and easy. It's a 5 minute drive down to the riverfront where there's a park run on Saturdays as well as a few public BBQs and picnic benches.
There's a surprising number of restaurants and cafes down the road including a few great Thai places, a lovely Indian, a nice Italian and a couple great places to grab a drink.
If we come back to Perth, we will definitely be staying with Rachel and Paul again.
