We were renovating our house nearby, and stayed in Johannes's place for a few nights. It was perfect for us. The split-level flat is on the second floor of a large apartment complex in Erskineville. It has 3 bd (one queen downstairs, and upstairs is 2 smaller rooms w one double bed and a child's bed) perfect for us and our 2 children. Kitchen was fine, had all the utensils we needed. Stocked well with essentials. Bathroom was modern and tidy. Water nice and hot (but a smallish water heater which ran out a little quickly. Although it then did not take long to warm back up again - so it was not problem). Undercover car parking was very handy.Plenty of free parking on the street too. Great area - beaut French restaurant (Bitton) right next door which opened at 6am for excellent pastries and coffee. A short stroll up the street to fabulous pubs and restaurants (The Rose in Erskineville is a classic). Across the street was a large park and oval. Really nice part of Sydney. The apartment is on a slightly busy road (not crazy busy - but you do notice the sound of the cars zipping past a lot) - not a problem for us as we sleep through anything, but might be a problem for some - maybe bring some earplugs. My favourite part of apartment was the book collection - wall to wall shelves filled with philosophy texts, and another bookshelf stacked with really good children's books. I would highly recommend Johannes's apartment - many thinks for having us :)
