I had a wonderful stay at Chris’ place. Here are the reasons why:
1. The room was very spacious and clean, and smelled clean;
2. There was a large window that not only lets in natural light but also made me feel not enclosed;
3. It was cold and I was very thankful to have been provided a very comfortable bed, a thick blanket, 4 pillows, and a portable heater;
4. The toilet was clean (well, the entire house was clean) and there was a heater;
5. Chris was patient enough to give me directions when I could not find my way back;
6. The place is just a short walk to the beach, The Corso and the wharf;
7. The area was not noisy and I was able to sleep very well;
8. Chris was also very kind to fetch me from the wharf and take me to the wharf going back, as well as help me with my luggage; and
9. Finally, Chris was polite, properly kept his distance, and not creepy.
I highly recommend his place and will stay there again if I have another opportunity to visit Sydney.
