404 Big Beautiful One Bed & Balcony

Overview

First Impressions

Walking into 404 Big Beautiful One Bed & Balcony, you immediately get why this place has such a stellar location score. I mean, you’re literally in the heart of Perth — and I’m not just saying that because it sounds good on paper. The building sits right on Victoria Avenue, which honestly puts you within walking distance of pretty much everything worth seeing in the CBD. It’s one of those spots where you can actually leave your car parked (if you even need one) and just explore on foot.

The Space Itself

This four-star apartment really lives up to its name — it is genuinely spacious and beautiful. The bedroom feels properly sized, not like those cramped hotel rooms where you’re bumping into furniture every time you turn around. What I loved most was the balcony — you know how some places advertise a balcony and it’s basically a ledge? This one’s actually usable. You can sit out there with your morning coffee and watch Perth wake up below you. The kitchen is well-equipped too, which is perfect if you want to grab some local produce from the weekend markets and cook something up instead of eating out every meal.

Location Perks

Here’s what makes the location really work — you’re close enough to walk to Northbridge for dinner, but far enough from the late-night noise that you’ll actually sleep well. The Swan River is just a few minutes’ walk south, and if you’re into that morning jog routine (or just want to walk off last night’s dinner), the riverside paths are honestly some of the best in the city. Plus, being right in the CBD means you can easily catch public transport to Fremantle or the beaches without any hassle.

What Sets It Apart

The thing about Perth is that it can feel spread out — you often end up choosing between staying near the action or having space to breathe. This place actually gives you both, which is probably why couples rate it so highly for romantic trips. The room has enough space that you’re not living on top of each other, and there’s something nice about having your own balcony to retreat to. I also appreciated the little touches — proper blackout curtains (Perth gets bright early), decent water pressure in the shower, and reliable wifi that actually works when you need it.

Why Guests Love It

Look, Perth CBD has changed a lot in recent years, and this apartment sits right in the sweet spot of that transformation. You’re walking distance from some genuinely good restaurants and bars, but you’re also close enough to Kings Park that you can escape the urban feel when you want to. The fact that it consistently gets high ratings for location isn’t just marketing speak — it’s because you can actually walk places instead of constantly calling Ubers. For couples especially, there’s something to be said for having your own space with a view, rather than just another hotel room with windows facing a wall.
