Staying at Carmen's place was wonderful. The communication and handling of the check-in was easy and good. Carmen even came by to share some parking tickets with us as we still had a camper van with us when we arrived. We had a lovely chat!
The appartment itself was fully equipped and well maintained that offered everything that you need during a weeks stay in Sydney. Also, the place was clean and nicely set up so that even in a smaller place you don't feel locked up. Plus the balcony was a plus which we used all the time the moment we came home from a bustling Sydney visit or from the blue mountains. Overall we totally recommend the place to any visitor (we'd say 2 full grown people is the max) who wants to explore Sydney but doesn't want to stay in cbd yet be super close to all its attractions!
