This is a very nice house in a quiet residential suburb about half an hour out of the city centre. Transport links are good if you can walk 20 minutes to each of the Light Rail and Train stations. Taxis are plentiful in the city and are happy to come out to the area but there appear to be no local taxi services. Costs varied between $35 and $50 dollars depending on how many people in the cab. Taxi to the airport was $60.
Ming was waiting for us at the house and showed us around and even took us in her car to do a supermarket shop, which was very helpful as it turned out there were no supermarkets within walking distance and we had no car. There was lots of washing powder, washing up liquid, dishwasher powder, shower stuff and toilet paper provided, all of which were a great help. Ming also made sure we had milk, tea and bread available when we arrived - very thoughtful.
Three of the four bedrooms are spacious, with large, well dressed beds. Only two have hanging space but the third has lots of drawer space. The fourth bedroom (with well dressed twin beds) is small and has no drawer space and just a few hooks on the door for hanging. Really only suitable for young children, not for two adults as we were.
We all enjoyed our week in this house and agreed we would return to it should the occasion arise. Thanks again to Jim and Ming for helping to make our last week in Australia really enjoyable.
