Jean was a fantastic host and we both really enjoyed our stay! Jean was incredibly accommodating to our needs, and very flexible with our check-in and check-out arrangements (this is a huge plus). She also very kindly provided us with a cool box and umbrella for the beach. The cottage itself was clean and cosy, situated in a nice quiet suburb about 15-20 min walk to the nearest train station. There is a great cafe very close, and some restaurants close to Petersham station, if you have a car available though there is lots more choice within 5-10min drive.
Whilst we had a great time, there were a few points we didn't pick up from the description or other reviews. The cottage is located within the same property as Jean's house, closest description of this is a small house built in someone's garden. This obviously meant the cottage was very close to Jean's house, and also had a shared entrance gate, and shared disposal bin. This didn't come to a big issue, but felt at times this was "too close".The cottage is also located close to the park (which is great), but obviously passing people can look straight into the cottage. Final point, the internet was very slow, I think this may have been shared directly from Jean's house? Minor point and am sure this can easily be fixed.
Thank you so much for everything Jean. We had a fantastic stay in Sydney and both super grateful for everything you did :)
