Deb was a great host, and very welcoming and helpful. Their apartment is well appointed, and everything worked very well (especially the smoke detector! believe all the hype about having the fan on for toast-making!). The bed was extremely comfortable and there was plenty of hot water pressure in the shower. The big TV was great!
There is Telstra Air available if you have an account.
Unfortunately, there is a large building going up right outside. If you are into big cranes, it's kinda interesting to see them grow, but for someone who likes having the window open, it was quite noisy and smelly. Also, it by now surely blocks all the fireworks (I could see only the very tallest of the Lunar New Year ones a few weeks ago) as it's growing quite fast. There is still a nice view across the river, and I am sure they will be done soon, as they really are moving quite fast, but I found the proximity of such clamor very unpleasant.
