Our family of 5, which included 2 teens had a fantastic time in Leichhardt. We found the house manageable, not too small, and in a terrific position. We could literally walk to almost everything we needed - shops, restaurants, cinemas and more. We also really appreciated the fact that Karen let us bring our two dogs with us (a 12 yr old golden retriever and a 4 yr old German Shepherd). Karen's garden area was smaller than our own backyard at home, but was adequate given their size - and it did mean we got out with them every day to one of the several dog-friendly parks within walking distance. It was easy to get into the city and see the amusements that Sydney had to offer. Overall, we would be more than happy to stay there again!
