The location is very convenient. 10-15 min walk to the beach (downhill, keep in mind for the way back if not super mobile), two bus route stops v. close by. We are former Coogee locals so were not using it as a base for sight-seeing but it is easy to get into the city and other places by bus from here. Amenities good - great bath and all seems recently renovated.
Downsides - it is closer to a studio than a one-bedder as the partition separating the lounge from the bedroom doesn't offer much sound or light insulation; it is located at ground level on the street with a wall of windows so some privacy issues at night. There was also a nicotine smell that may have been from previous tenants or the block. Alicia is a good host - we notified her of this and she is looking into it, but if this is a sensitivity best to ask.
