Nicky is a very charming and helpful host. The apartment was exactly as outlined and very clean with good quality bath towels (Even the little generous extras were a wonderful and unexpected surprise). We were even able to raid the chook pen for some eggs.
Nicky was open to frequent requests for advice and she was generous with her time. The train map and a few promotional pamphlets were helpful.
One thing we had failed to understand is that “Inner City Living” and “Urban Farm” means something completely different in Australia. We did not find ourselves unsafe, but it did make us exceptionally careful.
The gas fire was a great addition as was the dishwasher, but some written advice on where cable channels were would have been helpful (Especially the news)
There is no microwave but there is an oven.
The Green line (a few blocks away) was excellent and the $10 daily ticket or $20 for 3 days purchase enables one to go from line to line (Train or Bus). ($3 one way)
Nicky did offer her car (which we felt was overgenerous but imposing on her hospitality and did not take up her offer) but in reality parking in the city would have been an expensive nightmare.
It is a basement apartment with one very small window looking out to the street and whilst I thought I might freak out with no windows in the bedroom, all turned out OK.
Overall – We would be happy to return.
