Staying at Tinas place was the best decision.
Me and my boyfriend stayed here the first two weeks of our backpacker adventure after arriving in Australia and after maybe 2 days we felt like part of the family.
Tina and her 2 sons are really kind people, always help if you have a problem, give good advice what to do or not to do around Sydney and care for your needs.
Always fresh bread and pastries for free from the bakery Tina‘s working at and sometimes Vietnamese food cooked and shared with us. And free use of tea and something like that. Cooking in the kitchen is not a problem.
You have your own room in the flat with two beds, enough space for two people. It was not perfectly clean in the room but no problem. Bed sheets and towels were fresh and clean.
Sweet cat Smudge lives there too.
Really good location, bus station in front of the house, 20 minutes to CBD, Chatswood with many shops and restaurants 20 minutes away by foot, supermarket 2 minutes away by foot.
Long story short: For the price and for one or two persons it’s the perfect place to stay if you like to be in a good location, like Asian food and want to meet wonderful people like Tina and her sons.
