Black Swan Vista

We didn't actually stay in this property as there had been an issue after the recent heavy rain, so we were given an apartment in another property. The ratings are for the property we stayed in.

The pedestrian gate wouldn't open from the outside, luckily a car entered so we could walk in through the car access, or we would have been standing in the rain for a long time. We could use the code to get out the pedestrian gate.

Great explicit instructions.

No dishwasher. Flakey ceiling that fell on our fed side table.

Clean & tidy, spacious & comfortable

Great location, free parking, beautiful views from the apartment, big shower, great sized space for 4 people. There’s an elevator in the complex despite it being quite an old building. They provide fans for air circulation. Fantastic system to open the door, so each person could do what they wanted and come and go without having to organise for the key

In one of the bedrooms, the paint and part of the ceiling was coming off it looked like a possible humidity issue, and there were some paint chips that had fallen to the floor. It was a bit worrisome since the bed was almost directly under it.

Location was great

The outside of the building looks a bit old

Great location.

The property is a bit tired. The place smelt mouldy, the roof was leaking right next to the TV. The bathroom seems new, but everytime you flush the toilet it gurgles up the sink - needs some drain cleaner. The shower water smelt like chlorine and the shower tap was corroding badly. There was a huge gash in the roof in one of the bedrooms and the fans could have done with a wipe down.

It was a nice quiet area of Fremantle. About a 20minute walk to the city centre which is perfect for us. The host was really easy to contact with any issues we had. It was great having the living area to relax in and the kitchen to cook our own food. Shower was nice and hot and had one of those waterfall shower heads that we really liked. Washing machine was in the bathroom and looked like a good quality one.

The host forgot to send us the check in instructions so we had to wait outside the gate whilst I called them to get the code. However once I got on the phone with them the process was really smooth and there were no issues. There wasn't enough toilet paper and we had to go out and buy some.
