I had a great stay at Merrilyn's place. She responded quickly to my last minute booking and welcomed me in a friendly style and made my first airbnb booking a good one. Her 'apartment' was clean, bright and welcoming and she had left things to help visitors out (eg. bus guides, magazines, tourist info, fresh fruit etc.). There is also a decent selection of books, although I didn't have time to read any. Her place is located on a quiet street about 10 minutes walk away from busy Parramatta road.
