The one bedroom flat had nice cold AC and fans in every room to keep us comfortable during the hot summer. The neighborhood is very quiet and feels safe. There is your own entrance so you don't feel like you're bothering your hosts every time you leave or return. We got by with the kitchen, cooking almost every morning for breakfast. It is hard to cook full meals without a full kitchen so don't expect to do so here. There is very minimal highway noise in the bedroom with the windows closed. The hosts were wonderful, accommodating our check in time and leaving us ample supplies to get through our stay. The only thing we ran out of were paper towels. If you are planning to explore the city and don't have an opal card you'll need a car to drive to the nearest train station (Liverpool) to buy a ticket. Picked this place because it was between the mountains and the city and we expected to be driving around a lot. For our purposes it worked great.
