What a lovely stay we had at Sue's place! So many great features in this house - a large, well-equipped kitchen, a very handy laundry room, a lovely outdoor patio and barbecue, comfortable beds, and air-conditioning throughout. It's a charming property and was a pleasure to come home to after a busy day of sightseeing.
The location is brilliant - only a 10-15 minute drive into the city, and not far from Perth Airport either. And if you enjoy eating out, then the location couldn't be better. A huge selection of cafes and restaurants literally down the road in East Victoria Park, plus a shopping centre and supermarket for picking up everyday essentials. I would recommend the butcher shop at The Park Centre - we got fantastic fresh meat from there, which cooked up nicely on the barbecue!
We did have a bit of an issue with ants - particularly in the kitchen. Couldn't leave any food out because they'd just appear in minutes. Obviously, insects are part of life in Australia, but it's something which we had to be very conscious of.
Have to say though that Sue was super-responsive when it came to dealing with that issue, and any other queries we had. She and Mark are terrific hosts and I would thoroughly recommend their place. It made an enjoyable holiday in Perth even better.
