The host is really friendly and responds very promptly.
The location - actually around the neighbourhood there is a small area where you have a grocery store, a few asian eateries and a sizeable woolies. I think the eateries only open for lunch. About 10mins' walk away (1km+), there is East Village Shopping Mall. There's Coles there and alot of eateries. There is a bus 370 that plies the road in front of this property. 370 goes to Broadway Shopping Mall on one end and the other, to UNSW and Coogee Beach. The property is in a largely rental/residential area that is newly built up. So very pleasant and clean surroundings. What would have been nicer is that there could be more eatery options nearer by for lunch and dinners.
The apartment itself is uncluttered and clean. It has almost everything, like a hotel. My wishlist - bathroom hooks to hang clothings, the main road is rather noisy so balcony is always closed and not very reliable internet broadband.
