We were helping our daughter settle in to nearby Macquarie Uni. A pleasant walk from Allan & Paola's place to the Uni took 20 minutes. It was just another 10 minutes walk to the useful and pleasant Macquarie Centre with all the shops and eateries you might need. When we did not walk to the Uni or Centre, the stop for a number of different buses was nearby. On the place of stay, it was very clean and had everything we needed. Allan & Paola were lovely to meet and talk to, let us to our own devices but delivered on the couple of small things we asked for (for example loan of small handyman stuff to help put small furniture together at our daughter's place). We would recommend.
