Colleen's house is a visual feast and an excellent retreat in a beautiful part of Sydney. Her place is located in a neighborhood full of shops, restaurants, a grocery, and a train station is close-by. Colleen is so helpful orienting you to Sydney and helping you decide what activities are a priority. She was sensitive to my comfort; e.g., I came to Sydney unprepared for the cold weather and she went out of her way to retrieve a heater out of storage for my room, which I really appreciated. She's got a great sense of humor and is willing to engage when you are; she makes you feel quite at home. Note that she requires a key deposit of $150 so be sure to bring the extra cash with you. All in all a great place to stay in Sydney!
