Rod's place is in a great location in Sydney. He is very responsive and thoughtful, even sending over a map to find the lockbox behind his building to pickup keys. The apartment also has a nice outdoor patio, which would likely be used much more during summer (I stayed during the winter). Apartment is clean, but there may be a cockroach or two given the building, even though they spray regularly. Rod replied instantly when I mentioned them and apologized profusely. Good response from a host for an unfortunate situation. All-in-all would recommend!
