The stay was interesting with a range of emails by Sophie that affected the beginning of the stay as cleaners were coming when I was to be there,so I chose to delay my start, bedding was in the dryer and not dry and an expectation to make the bed and a request to put up the smoke alarm. The smoke alarm issue being the most significant as a safety issue.
The house was nice and the kitchen particularly was very nice as was the decoration. The backyard was also great to have an area with seating, a grassed area and trees branch canopies to give some privacy from the the multi storey units that are around the perimeter. The position in Redfern was great and very convenient for my purpose of doing Christmas with my family who live in Redfern and to get to the train for some last minute Christmas shopping in Newtown.
Unfortunately on another night a party was being held nearby and some the partygoers were having drinks and conversations for long periods in the evening and morning straight outside the bedroom window.
The bath is beautiful and big but the bathroom shower is a challenge as the pipe structure and shower rose makes water overflow across most of the bathroom floor impossible to prevent.
The continuation of emails throughout the stay added to the need for constant communication to try and make the stay work well.
