Overview
First Impressions
Walking into the Cozy 2-Bedroom Apartment with City Views, you immediately get that “oh, this is actually nice” feeling — you know, when a place exceeds your expectations rather than disappointing them. The apartment sits right on Hay Street in Perth’s CBD, which honestly couldn’t be more central if you tried. What struck me first was how the space manages to feel both modern and lived-in, like someone actually thought about how real people would use it rather than just staging it for photos.
Location & Getting Around
The location is genuinely fantastic — I mean, you’re literally in the heart of Perth’s business district, but it doesn’t feel sterile or corporate. Hay Street puts you within walking distance of pretty much everything you’d want to see, from the shopping precincts to the cultural quarter. The couples who stay here clearly appreciate having everything so close by (they’ve rated the location particularly highly), and I can see why. You can grab coffee at one of the local cafes in the morning, explore the city during the day, and still be back in minutes for a quick refresh before dinner.
The Apartment Experience
Having two bedrooms makes this place work for different types of travelers — whether you’re a couple wanting extra space to spread out, friends sharing, or even solo travelers who like having a separate bedroom and living area. The city views are actually worth mentioning, which isn’t always the case with urban apartments. From the windows, you get a real sense of Perth’s skyline and the energy of the CBD below. The kitchen is properly equipped too, not just the bare minimum you sometimes get in short-stay places, so you can actually cook if you want to save money or just prefer eating in sometimes.
What Makes It Work
This four-star apartment hits that sweet spot where everything functions well without being overly fancy. The furnishings are comfortable and practical, the Wi-Fi actually works reliably (always a concern in apartment rentals), and there’s enough storage space that you don’t feel like you’re living out of a suitcase. What I appreciated most was the attention to details that matter when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a night — good lighting for reading, decent water pressure, and windows that actually open for fresh air when Perth’s weather is being cooperative.
Why Guests Love It
The 8.5 rating reflects what you’d expect from a well-run operation — guests consistently mention the prime location and how easy it makes exploring Perth. The fact that recent visitors have given the location an 8.9 rating tells you something about how walkable and well-connected this spot really is. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re living in the city rather than just visiting it, which is exactly what you want from an apartment stay. For couples especially, having that extra space and the option to cook together or just relax separately when needed seems to make all the difference in creating a comfortable base for exploring Perth.

Guest Reviews
Value for money, while furniture is dated and some of the facilitates were old, its value for money for the location.
Great location, with red and yellow cat just walking distance away. Multiple playgrounds near the property too. Nice layout of the apt with working appliances.
Responsive mgmt.
What could be improved: Bathroom was a little moldy. Kitchen utensils were rather worn eg non stick pans and chopping board were very scratched. Towels had old coloured stains. Walls a little thin.
It was a little weird that check in instructions was made available only the night before. However, the instructions were clear.
Cozy and spacious apartment for a week, in a great location.
It really is cozy and great for a week stay. Great there was air con in each room. Comfortable beds (if you like soft), block out curtains and comfy lounge setting with smart TV, dining table, ample space for the 3 of us. Thank you for leaving detergent for both washing machine and dishwasher. Within about a 20-30 minute walk to lots of eateries, Elizabeth Quay and we even walked back from Optus Stadium.
What could be improved: There was an odd smell in the building but not in the apartment. More like rooftop rather than city views, but still ok. No baking dish for the oven and heavily scratched frying pan which we couldn't use. Had to clean the other pots first before using. Other than that, a great little apartment for the week. Host accepted the feedback well and hope has fixed these things up.
Heerlijk appartement voor een paar dagen Perth!
Ruim appartement, goede faciliteiten (incl wasmachine en droger).
What could be improved: Vage instructies om er te komen
Clean and tidy
Fabulous
Superb
Great stay, spacious room in the middle of the city
Information package was detailed as to how to get the key and information around the unit. Very central, small walk to a really good corner store (the rise) who also have a great Cafe next door.
Everything in the room was catered for, including s Broom, mop and bucket and even down to a lighter in case you needed it. Everything was as listed on the booking and I received an email welcoming me as well as one on steps to do when leaving. Helped me make a little check list to make sure everything was done.
What could be improved: I have to admit, I did think I had booked it through the Mantra so this was a little confusing at first, but once I had the email details about how to access the key and what not the rest was good. Not the owners fault, but there was roadworks out front of the building on the day we left which made trying to a leave a lot more difficult than anticipated. If we knew there were going to be road works, I probably would have put most of my bags in the car over night and just checked out earlier.
There was a strange smell like someone had cooked dirty oil in there, we couldn't get rid of the smell. Even purchased some room deodorisers to try reduce the smell. Got used to it after a while but I have to admit, the smell wasn't pleaent when I got there. I did email the owner but there was no response about the smell. That's just me being nit picky though. The room was perfectly clean and everything else.
Great location, value for money, clear instructions to get into/out of unit
Location is central, there is a bakery downstairs, so many shops around (massage, hairsalon, restaurants, cafes etc) - all walking distance, value for money. Good for solo travellers. All amenities are there. I really love the washing machine & dryer as it helps to do laundry at home instead of going out to use a laundry shop
What could be improved: My apartment was changed from 2 bedroom to 1 bedroom a few days before I travelled to Australia. The 1-bedroom unit is ok BUT would have preferred a 2 bedroom as I was travelling with my son. Fortunately, the host refunded the difference, Aside from that, it was a wonderful stay
Superb
Furtherest room away from everyone, the view was good. Host responded on time and extended check out which was a big bonus.
What could be improved: Would've like a chopping board
Superb
Great location with the free red cat bus just metres up the road.
What could be improved: We had an issue with the keys, and it was eventually sorted. This place would have been perfect if the windows could have been opened, there was a bug screen on the balcony door, and there were two bathrooms.
Cooking in the apartment left odours in the space which was difficult to remove due to the above issues.
