I stayed with Colleen from 20 nov to 3 Dec and I had the best holiday ever. I had flown to Sydney to visit my daughter who is on a working holiday visa.there. And so I was looking for good value accommodation in the potts point area. And I chose very well. Colleen was a great host. Her home is welcoming and interesting and Colleen gets it just right - she is there to help and advise if you want but equally will leave you to your own devices if that is what you prefer.
The bedroom even though a single is a bit larger than it looks in the photo and I was very comfortable and settled there. The bed was comfortable too and the are two drawers a side table a sofa a tv and a hanging rail. . I was welcome to cook a meal and keep some supplies on a shelf in the fridge and in a cupboard (I was there for two weeks and Sydney is more expenno than UK).
Colleen gave advise on the best costal walks and good restaurants to try and the best place to get good coffee (gypsy just up the road) and good beaches and swimming pools and even the best places to find specific shops.
She is easy to get along with and we enjoyed going to the local farmers market together, catching the Ansel Adams exhibition at the maritime museum and even got to an exercise class together. She could not have been more kind helpful and informative in just the right amount.
Colleen's apartment is really in a good position too. It is at the prettiest end of Macleay Street, near enough for all the colour and buzz and trains of Kings Cross but far enough away to be in a calm Green environment that is quiet enough at night. You are close to Elizabeth bay house which is just down the steps, the royal botanical gardens opera house and rush cutters bay are all an easy walk with circular keys with ferries to Manly only a bus ride away. The bus stop is right outside the door.
For a warm welcome and a comfortable interesting place to stay this is the best choice.
Thank you Colleen - if alice stays on ii will be back and would be very happy to return to your lovely home.
The building was undergoing some renovations when I was there so there will be some improvements to the foyer and shared areas.
