We stayed three weeks in Michael's apartment in Coogee / Randwick. We were very happy for a nice quiet and safe neighborhood. The apartment had a beautifully screened patio with comfortable furniture. The apartment is well equipped and has fantastic good beds!! Michael is very reliable and pleasant and the entire rental process and communication were without problems. Coogee is an incredibly charming little town with a beautiful beach. It take you 10 minutes to walk to the beach. We had several good experiences on the beach, at the cafes and restaurants in town and it was lovely to walk "the coastal walk" from Coogee towards Bondi Beach. Birds, beaches,wale watching and flowers ! Getting to Sydney from Coogee / Randwick by bus was very easy. There is a lot of attractions in Sydney - and I would like to mention Botanical Garden and the Calyx as one of my highlights. We have also been on a wine trip by bus to Hunter Valley, at Sudney Opera House, Tagonga Zoo and at museums,library, towers, cultural events and attractions. Sydney is really unique!
