We had a most enjoyable stay at Lesley’s
house. Communications were excellent and she is a friendly
and accommodating host. Lots of nice touches, including
being met at the house and given a guided tour round it,
followed by a short walk to the local Surry Hills shopping
centre which has everything you could need for your stay.
She even helped us buy and load up our Opal cards which are
essential if you’re planning to use public transport to
get around the city. They say that appearances can be
deceptive and this is certainly true of the property. From
the terraced exterior appearance you wouldn't know how
bright, open, spacious, stylish, modern and rather funky the
interior awaiting you is. It’s a
lovely place to come back to relax in after seeing all the
wonders that Sydney has to offer. It’s also conveniently
situated for getting easily in and out of the city using
public transport, with frequent buses departing from a stop
just outside the shopping centre (a two-minute walk) as well
as trains from Central Station (a 15-minute walk). Both the
trains and buses will take you to Circular Quay, where the
ferries to Manley etc depart from. The neighbourhood itself
is safe and quiet and there are lots of good local
restaurants to choose from if you want a change from eating
out in the city. We loved our time in Sydney and were
sorry to leave and it was very much enhanced by our stay at
Lesley’s lovely welcoming house.
