I stayed at Tom's place for two months and had a fantastic time. Tom is very welcoming and gave me lots of tips for my time in Sydney, and Bond is just the most affectionate, friendly dog. The apartment is spacious and the bedroom is perfectly suited for a solo traveller. There is also a kitchen with all the utensils that I needed to cook during my stay, as well as a washing machine. Since I was visiting in the winter months, Tom kindly provided me with a space heater for the room, which made my stay quite comfortable. The place is extremely well-located in the lively and LGBTQ-friendly Newtown area on a quiet residential street, and just off King St, which is full of cafes and restaurants. It is about a 10 minute walk from both Newtown and St Peters stations and just two or three stations away from anywhere I wanted to go in central Sydney. There is also a mall less than a 15 minute walk away with several grocery stores (Aldi, Woolworths) and other chains. Tom and Bond are the nicest hosts, and I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Sydney!
