Jane is a lovely host who will make you feel very welcome. The room is great - a nice, comfortable bed with quality linens, generous desk space, and facilities to make tea / coffee and breakfast. Being a historic cottage, the room can get a little cold in winter but there is a great heater to keep you warm, and electric blanket on the bed. The bathroom is modern, a large shower with good hot water pressure. You won't have access to the kitchen or lounge, but as long as you're prepared to be self-sufficient for lunch and dinner, you'll be fine. Location is good - nice and peaceful (though there are currently builders working next-door), near to the zoo and the Newtown shops, and a two-zone ($4) bus ride into the city.
