You stay here for the location, which is ideal if you need free overnight street parking -- and if you also need access to public transport. It's a five-minute walk to one of the best restaurant strips in the inner west. The property itself was clean but it's a bit of a ramshackle, unrenovated nanna's house. The small kitchen is in the living room. The venetian blinds are stuck. There was no shampoo or body wash in the bathroom. But hey, the shower works, and the heating in the bedrooms was a blessing in mid-winter -- in contrast to so many Aussie houses which are completely unheated. If you need more space than a hotel and you need access to the train line, this place will do.
