Malibu Apartments - Perth

This place is always great. Just a lovely small apartment. Home away from home.

I stayed there by myself for two nights in early November 2023. The code received by email on the day of arrival, is only needed to enter your apartment/unit. It's not necessary to open the front gate. When I approached another guest to ask how the gas oven and stove hot plates work. - He replied that, a clicker that is a lighter, is in one of the top drawers - to light the hot plates and oven cavity with. I contacted the manager about it, who replied to me by text message, to inform me that is how those appliances are turned on. - In addition to pressing a button, or turning a dial. One question I asked before my arrival, but did not receive an answer to, was that all cutlery, crockery, pots, pans and mugs are provided and kept in the kitchen drawers and cabinet. The only negatives during my brief stay: 1. The front wooden door didn't lock well. I had to keep turning the key clockwise or anti-clockwise to get the door to lock properly. 2. I think it was during the first night I was there, in bed at around 1 AM trying to sleep, when I suddenly heard the voice of a male guest either in the apartment/unit above me/mine, or outside. - His language sounded Chinese or Korean. This guest continued speaking loud enough for 15 to 30 minutes. So that was inconvenient and not pleasant. I thought staying in standard room accommodation of that price, that I would be much less likely to encounter that noise. Having previously stayed in hostels. - To my knowledge, noise there needs to be kept to a minimum from 10 PM. I know how hard it is to find decent accommodation without any or much bad reviews in Perth, that's not far from the CBD. If you're a single, solo traveller, I would advise using a car to transport groceries in. The walk from Woolworths (St George's Terrace) the larger of Woolworths two CBD stores to Malibu Apartments should take 36 minutes, with a distance of 2.5 km. The problem with using Google Maps when walking in Perth, is that it isn't always accurate and reliable. I brought over with me, a UBD printed pocket map of Perth city, as a alternative for navigation.
