I chose to stay at Alan's place recently when I visited Sydney. To be candid, my experience staying at his place was quite pleasant.I found Alan and Dorothy to be receptive and amiable people. They are pretty keen to assist and attend to any concern.
Further, Alan's place is pretty close to major Sydney tourists' destinations, shopping centres or malls and so forth.The apartment has all you need to survive as a visitor. In addition, there is 24hours internet access which really aided by studying during my visit.
Importantly, it will be my pleasure to stay at Alan's place next time I visit Sydney.
