Absolutely wonderful. Phenomenal location near the beach, cafes, groceries and a brilliant bookstore. Geraldine, Steve & Family are incredibly friendly & hospitable hosts. Always quick to respond and eager to help if needed. We are locals and stayed at Geraldine’s place for 6 months due to needing a temporary place to live between home moves. Completion of our new place was delayed due to the crazy state of the world/zombie apocalypse here in 2020, and Geraldine kindly accepted our request to extend our stay through the end of summer; this was an absolute life-saver!
On a different, somewhat random note, I have to mention this: the host’s cat is seriously awesome. Whether magical, psychic or just brilliantly intuitive to people, this cat would somehow find me whenever I step outside the door on any down/rainy days, and instantly cheer me up a bit with a meow or two.
Random mentions of my love for cats aside, rest assured you'll find most of the amenities you need here. WIFI is super reliable and fast. Kitchen is well-supplied. If you need anything, shops are just a couple minutes away. The neighbourhood is fantastic to live in and absolutely gorgeous to walk around.
Other highlights nearby include personal favourites of mine such as Banyen Books, Aphrodite’s Pie Shop, Breka Cafe (24 hours), Grounds Coffee (for mouth-watering Cinnamon buns) & of course Jericho Beach. Overall, highly recommended.
Many thanks again for everything, Geraldine!
