Had a great time staying at Clare's. She was so nice to prepare the room earlier and let us check in in the morning after we landed. The neighbourhood is full of nice restaurants and vintage shops, easy access to different parts of the town with public transport. The apartment was clean, a bit tricky to find but we got clear instructions about how to get there. The only unpleasant surprise was the cockroaches in the kitchen, but I believe it's a standard in Sydney so you just need to deal with it.
