I had a fabulous stay at Glen's place! I don't have anything negative to point out -- the studio was as advertised, very clean, and the photos are accurate. Here are some of my main takeaways:
HOST: Glen was amazing! He met me outside of the building when I arrived late after a delayed flight. He walked me through the apartment and made me feel at home. For a solo traveler, Glen's responsiveness prior to my arrival was much appreciated, as was his checking up on me via email during my stay.
AMENITIES: Glen added nice little touches to the apartment, like fresh flowers, sample perfumes (to take), beverages, and breakfast food. The all-important wifi was strong and consistent. The bed was comfortable. The space heater made the room cozy during the chilly winter. I was especially happy to have a washer + laundry detergent in the apartment and a cheap dryer to use downstairs. If I had wanted to cook (a grocery store is right up the street), the apartment would have had everything I needed to do so.
LOCATION: Excellent location! The apartment is in close walking distance to Kings Cross Station and near to several restaurants. Although I didn't do it myself, it's also in walking distance of Circular Quay, the opera house, botanical gardens, and other popular attractions. There was a bit of noise from the street outside, but not enough to disrupt me at all. If the noise happened to bother me, Glen provided a pair of earplugs just in case!
