Stayed approximately 2 weeks with my husband & MIL. Place is tight for 3 adults but if you're going to be out most of the day, it's manageable. Overall we really enjoyed our stay! Here are the things we loved:
1) Location, location, location! James' place was located in a FANTASTIC part of Sydney. Very well situated close to the Erskineville train station, restaurants, post office(s) and grocery stores. Erko is a lovely neighborhood between Newtown and St. Peters. Parking can be tricky but we only rented a car for 2 nights which made it easier to manage. Also, since the unit is located near a school and we were there during summer break, there were not as many cars.
2) James & Mercy were VERY responsive. Wonderful hosts!
3) The welcome book/house manual was very clear and easy to follow. James & Mercy also included manuals on how to use the appliances as well as maps and recommendations on restaurants.
4) Check-in was very easy.
There were only a few things to be aware of regarding this unit:
1) The photos are representative of the layout but the unit and furnishings are a bit older than what the photos showed.
2) There is only AC in the loft bedroom. The hosts provides 2 fans on the ground floor but it can get very hot - especially if you're cooking.
3) There really wasn't a laptop friendly space. There is a desk in the upstairs loft but there are no outlets by there so you can only use it for a while until your battery runs out.
