Jim was an extremely hospitable host. I was welcome to use anything in the house. The location is great and very convenient. There are eating places at Erskineville about 4 minutes walk or more at Newtown which is about 5minutes walk. There is a supermarket 2 minutes walk. There are 2 train stations within a few minutes walking distance. These stations are 2 stops to Central Station in Sydney. I had an event to attend at Carriageworks and this was an easy 10 minute walk from Jim's place.
