We stayed in David's apartment for almost four weeks and would stay even longer! David's apartment is ideal for a couple or a group of friends (the sofa in the living room opens up), very well-planned and thought through. There were even cooking tools there and nice pans and pots we used. David went ahead and offered us a free supply of clean towels and bed linen since we were staying for a while.
We felt very much at home there. We met David in person when we needed some help figuring out how to unlock the stove (turned out, we had activated the child lock by accident). He was there when we needed him and came to our rescue within minutes. David always responded to our messages and was very kind to answer all the questions we had.
We had no problem at all checking in the apartment; the instructions were very clear. The apartment is very tidy and sparkling clean. It also has some nice design touches, which we appreciated a lot :)
The location is also great - we loved staying in Marrickville. It is relatively close to the Marrickville metro shopping centre with nice cafes to have breakfast and lunch in, cute stores to do your shopping and an Aldi supermarket, which is the good cheap. In terms of public transport, it's also rather well-placed. You can take a bus or a train to Newtown or CBD. The bus stop is 2 minutes from the apartment. There's parking on the street if you're coming with a car.
I would definitely recommend David's apartment to anyone who wants to enjoy a stress-free time in a beautiful area and really feel the "suburbian" vibe and also to people who want to have fun but have some more peace and quiet in their homes while remaining close to the centre.
