Terrible stay

The unit was nothing like the photos. It was small and cramped. The kitchen was dirty with dead cockroach in the pantry cupboard which obviously hadnโ€™t had a regular clean. The blinds and ceiling fans were covered with dust. The shower ran hot and cold, did not stay at a consistent temperature. We sent a message to the owners and of date have not had any response which is so disappointing. We decided to move out after only two nights of a five night stay.

Weekend Away

Decided to take my wife away for an anniversary weekend. We decided to go somewhere we hadn't been for a while so we went to Fremantle. We saw this apartment and decided to give it a look. Enjoyed the view and the location was good as well. We would stay there again.

Great location for markets and port. Walking distance to everything in Freemantle. It is on the 6th floor and even with the lift you will need to go up two short flights of stairs. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Amazing sunsets

I wanted a place with a good view and I definitely got that. The place is on the 6th floor, a block away from the ocean, with a balcony facing west (that is, towards the ocean). There is a large window and glass door, so I was able to enjoy the view from the dining table or lounge. I could even see the ocean from the bedroom window. The sunsets were spectacular, but the morning sky was beautiful too.The place was reasonably clean, but I wanted the window, door and glass around the balcony to be cleaner and I was able to find cloths etc in the kitchen to do this.The apartment is on the 6th floor and there is a lift, but the description doesn't explain that the lift stops on every second floor, so you still need to carry your bags up half a flight of stairs.The location was great - walking distance to all the cafes, restaurants, bars, beach, markets, shops, train, bus, ferry to Rottnest Island to see the quokkas. I enjoyed sunset from in front of the Round House, dinner at Sana, coffee at Elske, a visit to the Shipwreck Museum and much more. It wasn't very quiet at night, but that's not to be expected when right in the town.I would definitely stay at this apartment again. It was easy to find, easy to follow instructions to get in, parking was available but also accessible by public transport, the kitchen had enough to cook some simple meals with the microwave and frypan, the towels were scratchy (exfoliating?) but the shower was great and the bed was comfy.

Perfect location

This property is in a great location to access Fremantle hospital (just across the road) or the cafe strip (just down the road) and the markets and restaurants. Being on the sixth floor it boasts a great view. One bedroom, small and concise. Ideal for two.

Bigger and nicer than the images show

It was a lovely place, quiet apartment block, the apartment was bigger than the images show. Only issue was the entry directions on stayz arent accurate, but the owner answered his phone and helped us very quickly so it wasn't a big issue.

All was great. The bed very comfortable. Can I suggest though that the picture rails be dusted and ensure the microwave cleaned on the inside. Other than that it was great
