Beautifully designed place with very comfortable furniture. Fifteen minute walk from Balmain ferry - we loved traveling the short distance into Circular Quay. Another shorter walk to the shopping street of Balmain (Darling St) with grocery stores (Woolworths has best prices), boutiques, and many restaurants of all ethnicities. We were told by owner that there are 17 pubs and 100 restaurants in Balmain. Loved the architecture of the area - buildings from the late 1800s mixed in with ultramodern homes. Very eclectic!
From the description of the owner (retired with adult children), we were unprepared to deal with the sound of two small children (grandkids?), but seeing as the fence on the patio has a pre-school on the other side (not in session while we were there), perhaps we were lucky only to be hearing two small children.
The screens for the upper bank of windows were not coming until after our rental period, so it was unfortunate that we couldn't leave them open all the time because bugs would come in. It would also be nice to have black-out shades, as once the sun is up, you're awake!
