Linda is a wonderful host, the place was exactly as described and pictured. She was super quick to respond to all my queries.
Location of the apartment is great, a small Asian grocery store is just in the next building. Another small convenience store is very close too, good restaurant options nearby - Dominos, sushi, sandwiches etc.
Great location for families traveling with kids, there is a small playground just next to the building with lots of kids for company in the evenings.
The Epping train and metro station is within walking distance with direct links to the city.
All in all, a perfect place for a short stay in Sydney for families.
