First, the pictures are accurate. Leona's home and Leona are lovely, open, airy, crisp and clean. The gentle breezes from the screened windows and doors just add to the ambiance. Her cool tile floors are comforting after a long day walking around hot Syndey. Leona is very gracious, offered good advice and still understands the need for privacy. Her home is on a steep hill, but with a touch of planning I was able to go downhill to catch the bus and downhill to return. The home is within 5-10 minutes walk to just about any flavor of food you may like, some with outside eating options.
I found returning to Leona's home after a long day to be calming, refreshing and relaxing. The on-suite bath was so convenient, too.
I'd recommend Leona and her guest space to my family and anyone I know traveling to Sydney with the confidence that the experience would satisfy even the pickiest travelers and thrill the low-key ones. Should I return to Australia, I'll check with Leona to stay here again. Home-away from home.
