In a nutshell, we enjoyed every minute in Karim's Garden Villa and it is highly recommended. There was not even the smallest thing to dampen our experience.
The pictures in the listing give an accurate impression of the property, which is ready to live in, fully set up with consideration and attention to detail. You will find all appliances, crockery, silverware etc you will need, just arrive and live. It was spotless clean and Karim even stocked up the fridge for us.
Also Karim was always very helpful in organising additional things we needed or wanted to know about the area or getting around.
The property is located in the peaceful suburb of North Ryde behind the main house. It is a 'granny flat' style detached villa with completely separate entrance and absolutely private.
There is a small shopping mall nearby, as well as bus stops with frequent and convenient services to Sydney's CBD and the Macquarie University and Macquarie Centre shopping mall. We stayed as a couple and had no car during our 10 weeks stay and managed well. However, should you bring a car, then there is plenty free kerbside parking available and Lane Cove Road is around the corner so that you are well connected to the trunk roads around Sydney.
Thanks to Karim for the great time at his place and we would definitely stay there again.
