The apartment was clean and bed was great. Equipment was sufficient, although a hot plate and pots would have made things easier. Electric frying pan needed a good scrubbing. Apartment is situated close to various attractions. The check in procedure was awful due to the booking agency not communicating with us properly. Fortunately, we eventually got hold of the owner who told us how to get the keys to the apartment.

Theo, it is not fair to mark us down due to the failings of VRBO ( Home Away ) It clearly states in the guest manual there is an electric frypan for cooking, No cook top for obvious reasons.

As advertised. View and location were great. Walked everywhere and parking was very handy. Check-in was easy and the place was simple but clean with everything we needed. The bed was turned down with chocolates which was a nice touch. Be aware because of its location it can be noisy. Nothing to do with the apartment just be aware when booking. Will be staying again. Shower is a little temperamental and thatโ€™s the only negative. Highly recommend

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!

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.

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.
