I stayed with Jenn and Ade for 3 months and I would do it again.
I had my own room with a big bed and plenty of room for my clothes and things. I also had a private bathroom with a bathtub. Besides that I shared kitchen, livingroom and a big balcony with Jenn and Ade. Their flat is situated on the 11th floor with a wonderful view and spectacular sunsets.
Redfern station is just across the street which makes it easy to go anywhere. Only 2 stations to Town Hall and 4 stations to the Opera. Redfern is even in walking distance to many interesting places. Max 20 min. to China town and max 30 min. to shopping area - Pitt Street.
Jenn and Ade are kind and very helpful, they respect your privacy but are also very social.
