Spencer's room was excellent, nice big bed, closet with lots of hangers and space to put your luggage away, and the apartment is absolutely awesome. The terrace with the pool and barbeque is a wonderful gem - absolutely not to be missed!
Redfern is an interesting area, lots of cool vintage shops just across the street; superb Vietnamese food next door at Yen's hole-in-the-wall (don't be deceived by the simple look of it!). Short walk to the train station.
Spencer was super friendly and helpful, and we loved his dog Oscar - a very sweet and calm old gentleman. :)
