Katharina is a friendly and lovely host, however, I would still recommend that there are better or cheaper places to stay. I was unaware that Redfern is one of the more dangerous suburbs in Sydney; so ended up spending a lot of money on Ubers. Please also don’t be fooled as I was that the bed is in fact a sofa type situation in a hallway with a curtain around it. There is minimal privacy. Additionally, the shower was so temperamental. It always either scoldingly hot or icy cold! So I had cold showers all weekend... there were also issues checking in. Kris was supposed to let me in but didn’t answer his phone and had no idea who I was when I did get through. Basically, given the issues and that there’s no privacy anyway, I’d recommend just going to a hostel as they’re cheaper. Also while Katharina is lovely, she sometimes wanted to talk when I was rushing to get ready or go out. Not necessarily bad just sometimes a bit awkward. And finally, had issues with the wifi reaching all the way to where my bed was which was frustrating.
