Great little house in awesome location
We had a lovely stay. The house had everything we wanted including a yard for our dogs. It’s in a great location, right around the corner from a restaurant, a bakery and an IGA. Thanks Claire for being a great and very accomodating host.

Cosy place to stay
This property was perfect for my stay. Well equiped with all the basics. Lovely and clean and very comfortable. Lots of fans to keep you cool in the wamer weather. A short walk to bus stops to take you into the city. Easy check in and Claire is an amazing host. Great communication and willing to help with anything you need to make your stay comfortable

A great little place in the heart of Vic Park/Kensington
This property is close to everything but has the convenience of off street parking and an outdoor area. Everything you need for a short or long term stay, and one of the few places that is pet friendly. We didn't have a pet, noticed no pet smell and place was very clean. Queen bed is firm but comfortable. Highly recommended.

Perfect location!
Thanks for a great stay Claire. It was the ideal location for me - easy to run back and forth from home (due to renovations). IGA and Cafe only a hop skip n a jump away. Gorgeous little cottage with big back yard and a REAL clothes line lol. Porch light was out, but Claire was onto it within hours. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again if needed.

Review
Property suited our stay perfectly, myself and my child. Location was good for the purpose of our visit and at the same time has easy access to Perth CBD and elsewhere. Property was compact, easy to keep tidy. Looks like recently been renovated. Only down side was cooker was difficult to figure out how to use at first and hot water in the bathroom sink seemed to be hit and miss, often seemed to run out quickly. No issues with hot water in shower or kitchen. Rated manager highly but din't have much interaction with them. Didn't need any communiction.

This was a pleasant old house, which was clean, quiet and very comfortable. It was right next to shops (IGA and a couple of cafe's), walking distance to the park which made exercising my dog easy.

A comfortable and convenient place to stay for our visit to Perth. Claire is a very nice host and was easy to communicate with. The shops were right in front of the house, great coffee shop and restuarants etc. And a bonus was that our dog was welcome. Thanks Claire

ok for short stays
the bush in front of the bins needs a tidy up so make more parking on the drive way, front steps to front door fairly high, roller blind on back verandah very noisy when windy, great for the dogs, quiet street.

Convenient and pet friendly
Lovely little home for myself and fur friend to stay during Perth work trip. Kitchen and bathroom have everything you need. There is a lot of construction noise next door just at the minute but looks like it will be finished soon. IGA and great takeaway right next door. Bed a bit springy for the more fussy sleepers (me!) and NBN unit beeped in bedroom at 6am so press the “silence alarm” button. Stayz sent me incorrect key lock box code in check-in information email, making check in (in the dark) difficult. I recommend messaging owner the day before to obtain correct code. Air con units quickly heated kitchen/ lounge and bedroom.
