As an avid walker, Natasha’s place provided easy access to Newtown for the bohemian experience, Marrickville for the Vietnamese restaurants and Leichhardt for something Italian. Not to forget Petersham for the Portuguese experience. There are some great cafes around too, Ruby Lonesome, Tiny Giant, Two Chaps and the White Cockatoo Hotel has a great atmosphere and Guinness on tap. The best bread is at The Bourke Street Bakery.
The Apartment was comfortable and in a quiet street with very little traffic. It was a peaceful neighbourhood, especially at night when there are no planes on route to Mascot.
I would recommend this as a great base to explore the inner west of Sydney. Natasha was great to communicate with and was always willing to help.
