Scott and his family were exceptional hosts and made our move to Australia worry-free and fun! We stayed with Scott for a month while we started a new job and searched for an apartment. We were greeted upon arrival and given a neighbourhood tour. Scott was so helpful in answering questions about Australian life, providing fun tourist suggestions, and helping us figure out how to live in another country. The apartment was gorgeous and full of character and had everything we needed to live for a month very comfortably. We especially loved living above the studio and taking part in open studio days and meeting members of Scott's community. Marrickville is a vibrant neighbourhood with great access to shops, restaurants and cuisine from all over the world. We enjoyed the Cook's river path for running and biking. Transit was great with direct trains to the CBD and direct bus to the university. We will miss Marrickville and will have to keep in touch with our lovely hosts!
