Ross is truly superb. Coming home to his smile was one of the highlights of my time in Sydney. As a solo female traveller, you want to feel safe, comfortable, and at home and I felt like that the moment I stepped into his place. His place looks exactly like the pictures and feels warm and inviting.
I took the public bus from the airport to his place and it was easy peasy. Broadway Junction will be your friend. He is a 10 minute walk from Bondi Beach, the must visit Bondi Icebergs, and a ton of shops and cafes.
Take his advice on where to eat asap. I waited until my last morning to try his coffee shop, Gertrude and Alice's on Hall St. Their avocado smash was the best bite I had in Sydney. The coffee is amazing too.
Don't do what I did. Go asap!
Get ready to walk all over the city and experience the joy that is Sydney. Woolworth and Coles are the place to load up on affordable snacks and water.
I highly recommend the coastal walk from Bondi to Coogee at sunrise. His place is ideal for anyone visiting Sydney and looking to stay with a friend. I already miss him.
