Mel's place is very quiet and comfortable! It is very close to our daughter's in Balgowlah so it was exactly what we needed for a few nights! There are several great cafes and a shopping center with a grocery, a green grocer, butcher, and fish market, as well as several nice clothing stores and a pharmacy nearby. The bus stop is a three minute walk away and there is even a free bus that travels locally. Downtown Sydney is a 35-40 minute bus ride one way and lovely Manly with its restaurants and beaches in a 10 minute bus ride the other way!
Comfortable bed and big clean bathroom!
Mel offered the use of her kitchen but we were eating with our family. But shopping nearby and cooking some meals there would certainly save $ on a holiday! A lovely home!
