Mina's place is located in a peaceful neighbourhood. While there is some audible traffic noise from the main road (Botany Road, I think), it is not disturbing and certainly did not affect our sleep. The house was well-cleaned and all necessary amenities were there. It is an old house and the walls(wallpaper) and carpet, in some areas, show signs of age, but this did not bother us and the signs are relatively minor. Kitchen and bathrooms seem newer than the rest of the house and stood out for that reason.
Note to other tenants - if it has been raining for some time (as it was when we arrived), the soil seems to get extremely soft in the grassed areas. This we unfortunately found out by accident, when one of our wheels went off the sealed drive on negotiating the reverse out of a relatively long and narrow drive. The wheel that went off sank into the soil, and we were lucky not to get completely bogged in the grassy verge! :)
