Shelly’s place is a cosy, luxurious setting that exudes old world charm with modern conveniences. From the moment we arrived, we knew our stay would be memorable. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay, from extremely comfortable beds (the king bed was especially handy for fitting our two young kids in as well) to an internal laundry and dryer. The apartment has great storage and amenities and we felt the warmth and kindness of our host with special touches like a bottle of wine and chocolates, some food supplies, a folder of information and email contact during our stay. The layout of the apartment is also very convenient when more people stay with the very large bedrooms at opposite ends, particularly in our case as our kids didn’t wake up my mum who stayed in the second bedroom. There’s a lot to admire while staying here as the walls are adorned with quirky and interesting artwork throughout and the spaces are thoughtfully styled.
The location of Shelly’s place is another outstanding feature. It was just a short stroll to Coogee beach. There were also two cafes just a short stroll, so morning coffee and croissants were easily accessible and the front sunroom was perfect for a lazy morning breakfast with kids (this place is also well stocked for kids, with a high chair and toys to keep them occupied). There was also a great park very close by for the kids and a delicious Thai restaurant. While parking is timed out the front, we didn’t have any trouble finding all day parking at a nearby street and the bus stop was also nearby for my mum.
We couldn’t have asked for anything more from our stay. The apartment was clean, comfortable and cosy, with a real homely feel to it and we would definitely recommend this place to our friends and family. I had originally looked room nearby and I was so glad that we found this place instead. I look forward to staying here again in the future. Thank you Shelly for such wonderful hospitality.
