We arrived following a 5 hour drive from down south, in the evening of a 40 degree Perth summer day. Carol had very thoughtfully been to Allora and turned the airconditioning on for us, as well as leaving milk, bread, fruit & eggs. We walked in to a gleamingly clean, cool, well organised apartment, and were instantly impressed and at ease . We really appreciated the quality linen on comfortable beds, abundant towels and toiletries in great bathroom, and all the equipment in kitchen. We walked to fabulous restaurants and cafes, enjoyed the weekend outdoor cafe bustle of the neighbourhood, found anything we needed (and a few things we didn't need but were delighted to find) at the nearby bookshop/newsagency/bottleshop/grocer/patisserie/boutiques. The happy community of locals, kids walking dogs, cyclists, strollers and walkers was lovely to step into. But once we were back in Allora it was quiet and peaceful and airy, with views of the city from its second floor vantage point, and trees and flowering shrubs in the gardens around the apartment block.
This is a great apartment and Carol is obviously an experienced and organised host, who anticipates needs, offers extra hospitable touches, and responds to requests really promptly. Good value. We will stay again and recommend it to any friends visiting Perth.
