We had a marvellous time in Carolyn's apartment. The apartment is only minutes from the ferry and all the attractions that Sydney has to offer. East Balmain is charming with many restaurants, coffee bars and shops within walking distance. The apartment is lovely with a great a balcony where you can sit and enjoy a coffee or long glass of beer or wine. Although the apartment isn't modern it is full of character and has everything you need including a washer and dryer at the back of the house. We loved it and would most definitely return if we were in Sydney again..
