Gari's place was a perfect stop over for us in Sydney, and easily accessible on the train from the airport. Gari welcomed us (at very late notice on our part) and immediately made us feel comfortable. His place is located near some great cafes and restaurants as well as the beach. All within 5 mins walk. We can recommend Summer Salt just at the end of the road. The room was really clean and comfortable and we had our own bathroom to use at our will. We were invited to join him and his friends for some homemade desert once we arrived as they were having a BBQ, which just topped things off. Nothing better than a cup of tea and cake after a long trip. If you fancy staying out of the centre and seeing the real Sydney then this is a great place to do it.
