We were greeted by Scott and his family when we arrived. They are very friendly, and Scott showed us around the apartment. The apartment, like stated, is really massive, and more than enough for two to stay in. We were expecting less, but actually got more than we hoped for. The bed is comfortable, and the kitchen has all the utensils needed for us to cook anything! There's even an ipod dock, that we used throughout the week to play music. In the afternoon of our arrival, Scott shoed us around Marrickville; the shops, restaurants, and the train station, which is really near the place, and in walking distance. There is a Woolsworth supermart just at the end of the road as well. Really accessible if you just want to buy something and rest at home, or take a train to the city.
The next day, Scott and family took us to a morning market nearby, which was really interesting. Even my girlfriend, who has been living in Sydney for more than a year now, did not know that there is a market near here.
As for the apartment, we were free to do anything, and come home whenever we wanted to, as the apartment is on a separate building. Privacy was good too, no one came up the stairs during our stay.
Overall, it really was a pleasant stay for us. We would like to come back and stay someday if we have the chance.
Scott is a very nice person, he and his family are very warm and friendly too. He is willing to show us around, and even asked for us if the restaurants around the place is halal or not. He even offered us a jacket if we want to go to the Blue Mountains. Scott really is a good host, and I think we can stay as friends as well. Hope we can meet again in the future.
