Carolyn's apartment is in a really beautiful heritage building surrounded by greenery and filled with uplifting light and high ceilings. It's simply and tastefully furnished and has all the mod cons one needs to self cater eg: good oven, cooking utensils, lovely crockery, plunger, tea pot, iron, hanging space and so on. The garage for our car was a godsend. Not to mention the location... East Balmain is by far one of the most beautiful areas of Sydney, close to ferry, the Tom Uren walk, the kms of Darling St filled with cafes, restaurants, shops and pubs. Communication was great. Carolyn was out of town and organised lovely Joe to greet and orientate us. Carolyn came to say hi when she returned and was as gracious as expected. A wonderful grass roots Airbnb experience.
