Gwen’s place was very conveniently located with a short bus ride to CBD. On the other hand the surrounding area was quite green and peaceful. Personally I really liked the 7 km Bay Run route nearby. There was some plane noise, but you get used to it quite quickly and they do not fly over the house during nights.
The balcony upstairs was in frequent use as that is a really nice area of the house. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed and more.
Gwen as a host responded quickly, provided us with all kinds of useful information and was a very nice person overall.
