Gillian's place is the perfect place to stay if you want to get out and about to explore Sydney. The apartment is well stocked enough for you to cook your own meals but if you prefer to dine out the location is just perfect. It's bright, open and airy, clean and tidy. The shops are close and the next stop from Stanmore is Newtown which is super fun to explore. So many spots to eat and shop and so much character. The city is only a few stops away on the train too. Would totally recommend it.
