Positive aspects of this studio include:
- a cosy vibe suitable for all seasons
- free wifi, Netflix, YouTube, kitchen facilities and all basic essentials
- the outdoor seating area (when not raining) was relaxing, with fresh air flow, privacy from tall shrubs and nice view of the coastline
- the shower head spray is amazing
- the nice touch of milk and fresh sourdough bread was delightful
- if you want a break from driving, the studio is only 25 minutes walk to the Mosman shops/cafes/restaurants and to Balmoral Beach which is easy enough if you enjoy walking
- the host Jo was happy to answer all queries and provide recommendations on places to eat or visit
- lots of UberEats options to choose from
There are however a few downsides to be mindful of:
- noise of traffic given it’s on a main road can be quite loud
- the host family lives above the studio and unfortunately the footsteps, plumbing and chair movements were loud and interrupted sleep ins and a general sense of quiet
- the frosted glass of bathroom door made my companion uncomfortable, as it was not opaque enough, so check with your travel companion to make sure they are okay with this.
