A self-contained apartment is a charming little town, within walking distance to the beach, market, restaurants, and shops. About 15 minutes from Byron Bay (a little longer as of Dec/2015 as there are a lot of construction going on). But prepare your wallet. The region is expensive.

Min respected my privacy and checked on me from time to time to make sure everything was good. She kept the interaction with her family to a minimum (as I asked so before arrival).

The apartment is located in front of the main road, so during the day is a little bit noisy. However, at night, with the door shut, it is very quiet. Her baby girl sometimes screams in the morning, but Min is aware and tries to minimize any noise. The only other noise I could hear from the family was, sometimes, when they climbed the stairs (they live upstairs), but I was amazed how quiet it was in general, as they frequently have their relatives over and throw pool parties during the weekend. (I couldn't hear a thing.) They have a little cute dog, but I couldn't hear it at all.

I stayed for 20 days and needed the internet for work. Sometimes it was slow, but in general, I was able to work from home without any major issues (except when the power went off, of course, which happened twice during my stay).
