Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to B9 Crawley Apartment 1 BRM & Sleepout near UWA on Broadway, you immediately get that “local neighborhood” vibe that’s honestly refreshing after staying in cookie-cutter hotels. This four-star apartment sits in one of Perth’s most coveted pockets — and I mean that literally, because recent guests rated the location a stellar 9.5. The building itself has that understated Perth charm, nothing flashy, but you can tell it’s well-maintained and thoughtfully managed.
The Space & Layout
Here’s what actually surprised me about this place — the sleepout addition makes all the difference for couples or anyone who needs that extra bit of space to spread out. The one-bedroom setup flows naturally, and you’re not tripping over your luggage like you would in a cramped hotel room. The apartment feels lived-in rather than sterile, which I know sounds like a small thing, but it actually makes you settle in faster. You’ll find yourself making coffee in the morning instead of rushing out to find the nearest café (though honestly, there are some great ones nearby if that’s your thing).
Location & Neighborhood
Crawley is one of those Perth neighborhoods that locals know about but tourists often miss — you’re practically on the doorstep of UWA, which means you get that leafy, academic atmosphere without the chaos. The Swan River is a short walk away, and if you’re into morning runs or evening strolls, you’ll understand why couples rate this area so highly for romantic getaways. What really sold me though was the free private parking — I mean, finding parking in Perth can be a nightmare, so having your own guaranteed spot is worth its weight in gold.
Practical Perks
You know what’s actually useful? Having a proper kitchen when you want to grab groceries from the local shops instead of eating out every meal. The apartment setup means you can live like a temporary local rather than feeling like you’re just passing through. The 8.6 guest rating makes sense when you consider these practical touches — it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in Perth, but it nails the fundamentals that matter when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two.
Why Guests Love It
This place works because it gets the balance right between being close to everything that matters (UWA, the river, decent restaurants) while still feeling like you’ve got your own quiet corner of Perth. Couples especially seem to appreciate having actual space to relax together rather than being cramped into a standard hotel room. The high location rating isn’t just marketing speak — when you’re this well-positioned in Crawley with your own parking sorted, you really can explore Perth at your own pace without the usual urban hassles.

Guest Reviews
excellent for what we needed
location cleanliness and comfort
What could be improved: all fine
it was fine.
good host. responsive and friendly. close to what i needed. i have lots of feedback below but overall i think the accomodation is fine.
What could be improved: property needs a bit of a refresh. no power points close to bed. overall ok for the price. hot water system was a little quirky. some deep cleaning needs to be done. shower was not cleaned and kitchen was in need of a proper clean. not filthy just needed a professional cleaning. the “rules” saying we need to make sure we clean the place was not unreasonable but the “request” to wash the bedding was a little unreasonable considering check out was 10am and that is usually not requested.
Exceptional
I really appreciate THE retro pavilion lifestyle this apartment had offered. Very factional and easy to maintain,..
Best part of it ....Very central to the restaurants/groceries/chemist/transport!!
Terry, the owner, is very approachable and prompt to communicate
It's is a little gem tucked away in the most sought-after area.
Great location, cosy space, lovely management, bit retro
If you're needing to be close to UWA, this is an excellent location! It's a 5 minute walk to the campus, and likewise a 5 minute walk from the local IGA. Terry and Sharon are lovely and approachable, and extremely helpful.
The apartment I stayed in (B9) is kept in excellent condition; it is decorated in a very homey and cosy style (I love the carved wooden triptych above the stereo). Both the apartment itself and the appliances are a little bit dated, but are very much operational. In case someone else is planning on working at a desk while staying here, the smallest bedroom (single bed) is where the desk is. It's a converted balcony so there is plenty of natural light.
I would absolutely recommend B9 to anyone staying in the area for an extended period.
What could be improved: The wi-fi is limited and has a tendency to drop out now and again - for most purposes, it's fine. As a benchmark: I was usually able to watch a couple of episodes of a show on Netflix without too much trouble; now and then it would cut out. Maintaining Wi-Fi Calling was difficult, and the 4G reception there isn't great (I'm on the Telstra network). If you need more than that, you'll need a way to boost your connection.
I was initially excited that there was a stereo, only to discover that it is old enough to have only a cassette deck and CD player - the auxiliary input is stereo (I think it might actually be RCA as well). I bought a bluetooth speaker, problem solved.
Good
