Ian is a relaxed guy with very helpful tips. The room is cosy but spacious. I stayed alone in this room, making it even like a small apartment. I stayed in Sydney for doing both the classical tourist things in the city centre but also surfing at Bondi Beach. Because of that, Ians place was excellent! Just a 10 min walk to the beach, or 20-25 min walk to the ferry wharf at Rose Bay and from here another 11 min to Circular Quay/city centre. A bus stop is just right in front of his flat, enabling lazy days, too.
I definitely recommend staying at Ians place when visiting Sydney!
