We stayed with Susannah for 4 nights in east Balmain and had a great stay. East Balmain is a beautiful area and public transport to the centre is very cheap. The room is off the living room which was fine and there is no wifi which it does state in the description.
We got to know Susannah well during our stay and even helped her with a few things around the house. Everything was really clean.
The only thing that could have made it better was being able to use the washing machine. With travelling on a budget, Susannah was hesitant to let us use the washing machine, but offered to take it to the local shop which was kind. However a small bag of clothes cost $30 which was quite disappointing. Apart from this everything was great and we would stay again with Susannah in her beautiful home.
