I really appreciated Lind’s space for a few reasons - first, she was very responsive leading up to the stay. Also, she was flexible in check in time (I arrived around 8:30am with my husband and baby, and it was SO helpful to not be stuck with my luggage for a few hours after getting off the plane). The apartment is a very easy walk to groceries, the train, lots of restaurants, and the sites. We walked to the opera house, botanical gardens, Australian Museum, aquarium, wharf to take the ferry over to taronga zoo... we also walked down to Chinatown and Surry Hills for meals (though it’s a longer walk and easily accessible by train). We took the train then bus to get to Coogee beach to make the walk to Bondi Beach. Everything was so easy to get to from the location. The curtains did a great job of blocking out light. It was also an easy studio to be in with a baby - it wasn’t hard to do basic babyproofing (moving candles away from low shelves, emptying a couple of drawers so she didn’t dump contents out), and there was enough space in the living room for her to walk around. The one warning to parents is that there is a lot of carpet, including under the dining room table, so you will need to be thoughtful about food getting dropped. The other thing that would be nice is more space to store my own belongings - there is a wardrobe for hanging clothes, but most of my clothes and baby’s clothes I stored on the floor next to the bed.
Thanks, Lins! Appreciated staying at your place!
