My husband and I enjoyed staying at Ruth's place over the 5 days we were in Sydney. We especially appreciated the little touches such as Opal cards, boxes of tea, coffee and the many snacks she left for us - they were certainly generous and thoughtful. Communication was very easy as well - though we didn't see her around (which gave us our privacy) she responded very quickly to any queries we had. The only downside to the house is that we had to cross a small open-air space to get to the toilet; but it was not a big deal as we had the whole space to ourselves anyway. The space is a good brisk 10min walk to Sydenham train station, which has great connectivity to Central, Circular Quay and many other popular locations. We'd certainly recommend this place; it's perfect for 2 people!
