Beth's place is in a great location - easy bus or ferry ride into central Sydney. There is a lovely trail called Hermitage Foreshore Walk that is very close and has beautiful city views (kinda of hill but I did my morning runs on it and it was great!). The area is more laid back so not that crowded or busy which I preferred but enough restaurants and grocery stores to meet your needs. She has all the basic cooking amenities and it was quite a comfortable stay!
