My fiance and I stayed at Lisa's apartment for 24 nights and had a fantastic stay. The building in front was in the process of being rebuilt giving her bedroom a fantastic ocean view.
Less than a minutes walk from a boat ramp which is a popular swimming spot. There are rocks to jump from and tons of fish to see snorkeling.
There is a bus stop a short walk away and the area has fantastic clean public transit. We are not use to public transit but it was easy to figure out.
Lisa was a constant help throughout the trip giving us recommendations, helping us figure out how to get coins for laundry, and after discovering I enjoyed fishing she even told some locals to keep an eye out for me. I spent several days of the trip collecting and eating sea urchins right below the apartment after being shown how by one of friends.
We had a fantastic stay and I think a big factor for how much we enjoyed Bondi was due to Lisa's home being so nice and so perfectly located. Highly recommend.
