As previous visitors have pointed out, Scott makes you feel welcome long before you arrive and in the second you arrive, you feel as you have lived there for years. He introduce you to the area and tell a lot of stories. It has been 2 fantastic weeks. Scott and his family know how to interact with their guests just enough, so you don't feel it is directing you, but at the same time helps you like driving you to a station, gives you some advice etc. makes you feel really at home. His guide and the artistically drawn map of the neighbourhood made by his wife and a walk with Scott, gives you a good start for a stay. The studio is big and at winter time like in July, it can be a bit cold, but the heater for the room and for the bed helps to keep you warm. The kitchen is well equipped and the bath room works fine. There are a good closet, shelves and cupboard for your things. The fact that artists work downstairs don't disturb. They work quietly until 10pm. and nice to talk with.
It is easy to get around in Sydney from Scott, not far from the T-station going downtown.
I really hope to be able to come back some day and that there are days available here at Scott.
