Tom, (who we did not meet, although we did meet Galina's really nice parents) writing on Galina's behalf, gave us accurate instructions and finding the place and the key safe was easy. Unfortunately communication which had previously been prompt was a little slow when we needed a response on arrival. The apartment, which is the front part of an older house, was clean and tidy with plenty of room and comfy mattresses. The kitchen was adequate with plenty of utensils and pots and a few plates, mugs etc including some basic food items. The trains and planes did not bother us although the early planes might concern some. Very conveniently sited, it was a short walk to the Marrickville station as well as some excellent cafés.
