My home is a beautifully refurbished apartment near the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia.
The space
There are two bedrooms and also a living room that was formerly a bedroom before the renovation. I have a double bed in there so it can be used as a third bedroom. However, it doesn't have a door on it that can be closed for privacy.
There is a beautifully renovated open-plan kitchen, and also a renovated bathroom with a shower and bath.
Guest access
The apartment is on the fifth floor of the building but there is an elevator if you do not wish to climb the stairs.
Notes
Please note, I do not have WIFI available. I do have it unticked in the "Features" section, but this just makes it not show up, thus possibly causing people to overlook this detail. My home also doesn't have heating or air conditioning. In the winter, I don't find this to be a problem, as it is quite well insulated. It does get a little warm in summer if the weather is very hot. There is often a sea breeze in the afternoon, but sometimes there isn't. There is a fan in the master bedroom and the spare bedroom/living room, and I also have another portable one. I generally find the fans to be sufficient.

Neighbourhood
The location of the apartment in East Fremantle is fantastic, as it is close to the Swan River, restaurants, coffee shops and pubs, all within easy walking distance.
Getting to my home
The easiest way to get around Perth is to hire a car, as it is a sprawling city that the public transport system struggles to service fully. However, my home is in a good location to be able to use public transport and/or walking to get to the main attractions of Perth and Fremantle if you would prefer to do that. It will take longer to get to places without a car, but I think there can be value in the slower pace sometimes, allowing you to appreciate your surroundings a little more. But the choice is up to you :)
Nearest airport
Perth International airport is 28km away. By car it is between 35 and 50 minutes away depending on traffic. Public transport takes about 1.5 hours.
Getting around
Fremantle is a half hour walk away, but there is also a bus stop very close to the apartment that will take you there in about 6 minutes. There is a train station nearby at North Fremantle (2.1km away) that will take you into Perth city, or alternatively there is a couple of bus routes that will take you there.

I am a solo traveller. I live in a beautiful apartment near the Swan River and Fremantle, in Perth, Western Australia. I love to travel and I have experience with a home exchange back in 2009 in the UK.
