Teabags and lemons awaited me on my very late-night arrival. Next day I was able to join Paula on a grocery run in her car, which helped a lot, and she toured me around nearby neighbourhoods to see different eras’ houses. Another day I accompanied her to a beachside cafe. Paula is friendly and hospitable and can offer suggestions on what to see in Perth. She has a nice vegetable garden and invited me to pick from it. I used her washing machine, which I appreciated. The suite is spacious and comfortable. There’s no bathroom sink, so you use the kitchen sink. Nearby buses get you quickly downtown ($2.20), or walking takes 40-50 minutes. I had a good 10-day stay and would visit again.
