First, the location strikes an excellent balance - on a quiet residential street, yet only a few minutes walk to the cafes, restaurants and stores on both Bourke and Crown Streets (the main thoroughfares in Surry Hills). Public transport is also straightforward - the Light Rail and plenty of bus routes pass close by, whilst Central Station is only a 10 minute walk or so down the hill.
Second, the house itself is cool! Plenty of interesting artwork and character.
Most importantly, Bron was an exceedingly kind and accommodating host. We only had limited time to talk (I was only staying for two nights) but I enjoyed our conversations!
