After staying a week we found it a very convenient location.
While buses are very close we were unable to use them as they are all pre pay during the day.
It was lovely to sit out on the balcony on the evening we were home and there is plenty of activity on the harbour to watch.
The noise level from the freeway did impact our sleep greatly, so it pays to check locations carefully.
Serena was a very helpful host with prompt communication to any messages sent during the week.
