Mike was a wonderful host. Communication with him was always clear and prompt, and he was able to answer any questions we had. Mike's place is in a great little pocket of Surry Hills that has minimal street noise, but is also very well located, just off Foveaux St. It was no more than a 10 minute walk to Central, and a couple of minutes' walk to the Legion Taxi depot, making it extremely easy to get around. Mike's apartment is a lovely one-bed unit with a sunny balcony. It is well-furnished, comfortable and clean. We really appreciated all the little touches such as milk and bread in the fridge, instructions for the AV equipment (tv & wireless dock) and several maps and area guides. Mike also offered his services as area guide when we first arrived, and made himself available should we need to contact him for any reason during our stay (which we didn't). I found the bed a little firm for my taste, but other than that, can't fault Mike or his place. We'd happily stay here again!
