I stayed at Forest's place for about 4 weeks.
The only negative thing I have to adduce refers to the pictured bathroom as it doesn't match the one you find there. Actually this one is used private. The available bathrooms are not that clean but there is huge potential for improvement. As I dind't cook during my stay I can't say anything about the kitchen. However, the rooms itselves are very clean and nice furnished so I felt very comfortable. Every room I came to see during my stay looked lovely furnished. Furthermore, Forest was very friendly and always willing to help wherever he could which is a very important component for me as well as it highly contributes to a comfortable stay. Also the suburb ryde itself is a beautiful suburb and it takes you about 10-15 minutes by bike or bus to macquarie university station/macquarie shopping center.
To sum up I enjoyed my stay and had nice flatmates
