Rod's flat is stylish, well equipped and very comfortable, with a gorgeous little plant filled balcony. Considering its convenient position - walkable through the beautiful gardens to the bridge/opera house area, and on convenient bus routes to other areas including Bondi Beach - it was very quiet. Although we did not meet Rod personally, check in was very easy and efficient and communication with Rod was very prompt. I would certainly recommend Rod's flat as a base for a Sydney visit.
