This place was exactly as advertised and as described by reviewers, which is to say fantastic.
The apartment is roomy and comfortable (great beds!), the kitchen completely stocked with both pans/utensils and more than just basics for coffee, condiments and the like. It was really like staying at a friend's house, relaxing and accommodating and visually interesting. Really liked the art throughout -- a most welcome change from a sterile hotel.
The location is superb -- quiet block that made unloading and getting oriented a breeze for first timers. Loads of markets, restaurants and whatever else within a five minute walk.
Marcus was helpful and responsive, and had a good supply of local info on hand. Would stay again in a heartbeat if lucky enough to get back to Perth.
Only thing missing: The place has a great vibe that cries out for music, but there's no stereo, ipod dock of anything (or maybe we didn't see it). Minor detail, of course, but thought it worth noting.
