This place is a gem.
Sasha and Roger recently made this unit available through Airbnb and I was their first guest.
Staying in this apartment is like staying in a small suite in a hotel but at a fraction of the cost.
Although no previous reviews existed I was attracted to the fact the unit is located on the 1st floor (lift available) of a Best Western serviced apartment building. The building is accessed through glass sliding doors from James St and the front desk is manned during the day. After-hours the sliding doors are locked for general entry and access is only possible via swipe card, which is provided with the keys. This privacy and security will be an important feature for many Airbnb guests
The unit is situated in the Northbridge entertainment district. Restaurants, bars, movie theatre, convenience store, banks, art gallery, and transport are a short stroll away. Despite being located on a main Northbridge street the apartment is quiet and does not face the street. You could not get a better location. I returned my rental car as the free CAT buses are on your doorstep and I made use of Uber. Free street parking after 6pm and there are a couple of car-parks along the street.
The unit itself is just lovely. The carpeted living room has two comfy couches, entertainment system, and aircon. The modern kitchen is equipped with everything you need and coffee, tea, milk, etc. was provided. The Queen size bed was very comfortable and the bathroom leads off the bedroom. Having lived out of a suitcase for the previous week, I made immediate use of the washing machine and dryer.
Everything from the bedding to the cutlery is of a noticeable high quality and the unit has a homely feel with numerous curious on display.
I confidently recommend this great place and am looking forward to returning.
