We had a great time at Simon's - great location - coffee shops, places to go, people to see - public transport (buses and trains) was easy to use. The house was slightly retro in its appointment, and with a real home feel. The upstairs balcony overlooks the park, private back yard, a retreat in the cottage out the back. The owners are happy to have stayers use consumables - fresh bread and milk etc were there to welcome us. Would happily go back to explore more of Sydney's inner West from Simon's place.
