I had a wonderful first week in Australia at Kate's house. Kate was very flexible about my arrival, and made me feel very welcome during my stay. The whole apartment was spotless, decorated with curiosities and art from all around the world. The room had everything you would need, including a heater to keep the cold outside during the night. The bed was comfortable, linen and towels clean. The place is in a very safe neighbourhood with great restaurants and cafés just around the corner. Highly recommend!
