I went to Freemantle for a conference and was so glad I decided to stay at Nicole's place rather than at the conference hotel. The location is fantastic - close to a wonderful fruit & vegetable shop/deli and cafes, easy to walk to South Beach, to the ferry terminal, to the Arts Centre, to town.... The studio is spacious, with a good kitchen, very comfortable bed, and a great couch for lounging on with a good book (and several are provided!).... and once the weather warmed up it was really nice to sit outside in the sheltered courtyard. I thoroughly recommend it as a relaxing and easy place to stay.
