Michael's place is in a fabulous neighbourhood in north Bondi, and as it is built into a cliffside with views over Bondi it is very atmospheric. It is about 12 minutes' walk from it to the northern edge of Bondi Beach. Shuk restaurant, just a few minutes away, is a wonderful place to eat—great pastries in the morning, interesting dinners in the evening, lovely sidewalk tables to sit at with super comfortable chairs. I also highly recommend taking the stroll (via Hastings Parade) over to Enoteca Cucina (amazing Italian food), Bondi's Best (great seafood, but very busy), and a lovely organic grocery store, all of which are in the same block.
As for Michael's space, it is like a fancy beach cabana with nice bed and a good shower. The kitchen space is very tiny — you won't be cooking here, just as you wouldn't be in a beach cabana! — but there is a little fridge, etc. You'll want bottled water. The water from the tap does not run cold.
I loved things such as the singing birds in the afternoon, and hearing children splashing out about in a pool in the residence higher than Michael's on the cliff. I had an issue about cleanliness that I raised with Michael shortly after arrival and it was addressed the next morning. Michael was also very helpful in arranging for taxis both for my arrival and departure. My principal concern was that the space is not as private as I would have like or expected from the description which assures guests that they will have the "utmost serenity and privacy." I have had a "private room" before in an Airbnb and felt I had more privacy than I had here. The "cottage" is a separate space but Michael can at any time pop out a door about 15' from yours to talk to you or do things in the outdoor space that you can see in the photograph. I think that's something that should be understood. Most people may not mind, but it should be clear.
All that said, I would say this is a good choice of place to stay for those looking for a little crash pad while enjoying the pleasures of Bondi Beach.
