After reading all the good reviews about the listing, I had decided to choose Rika's place for my stay in Perth. We were welcomed by Rika on our arrival and to my disappointment, the place was not as good and clean as described by the others. The living room is very dimmed and the furniture are quite worn out. The hot water in the bathroom need some time to work and it will not function properly in the middle of our shower. Beds are not comfortable as describe and worst of all, with all the pictures of Marilyn Monroe hanging in front of the bed (first bedroom) and on top of the bed (2nd bedroom) how can one enjoy a good night sleep.
Due to the dimmed lighting of the house, we had to turn on the bathroom light to ensure that my mother (age 68) will be able to see her way to the toilet during the night as she was not familiar with the place. However, we were reminded by Rika (through text messages) twice to switch off the bathroom light. I was wondering whether she was spying on us the whole night (as she is just staying next door) or the rates that we paid only allow us to use the bathroom for a certain period of time?
Overall, I did not enjoy my stay there.
