Bob's place has a touch of a cabinet of curiosities to it, one of the reasons I booked it. the artwork around the house is beatiful, and the whole house is nicely decorated. It is maybe not very clean but certainly very tidy. The backyard is also lovely and well looked after. The place is very close to the Redfern hub which is quite convenient for transport around the city and beyond. Bob is a generous and helpful host, though admittedly people skills are not his main strength. I wish I didn't stay for most of my sabbatical, but I could not find an alternative at a short notice. Bob has two rooms to be rented out on AirBnB and people in the other room were coming and going, and not all of them were agreeable I found. I felt I had little privacy, especially when it came to my laundry. There was no personal rack to use for fresh washing, and Bob repeatedly threw my laundry out of tumble dryer on the kitchen table early in the morning. I would recommend staying for a short period of time.
