We enjoyed staying at Marianne's apartment with its magnificent view. It had everything you may need, was very clean and in a great location for cafes and supermarkets. There are bus routes right there and both Sydenham and Marrickville train stations are 10 to 12 minutes walk away. Even though we were there in winter the apartment was very warm and in the 5 days we stayed only needed to put the heating on for a short time one evening. We would not hesitate to stay at Marianne's again.
