Colleen is one of those formidable women, full of energy and stories to tell. Her place is superbly located down the road from King's Cross train station in Sydney. The location gives you easy access to Sydney's main attractions. The bed is comfy and her cat adorable.

She will try to convince you to take buses to go to most places, but I found out that most things are doable on foot and it is a pleasure to walk in Sydney.
