Excellent friendly hosts Kristine and John are welcoming and happy to provide local information. The response to emails/sms/phone is very rapid with flexible check in and check out times that make things much more pleasant.
The fantastic location is a short 15min walk from Coogee beach, 25min walk to Randwick. Local food options are around. Many bus options run closeby into the harbour/city area. A taxi into town will cost $25-40. Alternatively if driving there is plentiful street parking (occasionally if returning late at night you may need to park a few minutes walk away). The area seems safe, well lit and a quiet neighbourhood.
The apartment/granny flat is through a nice garden that has outdoor seating and lighting and a BBQ for use, with a screen for privacy. Inside is decorated with interesting African items. There are some basic kitchen facilities (no stove, but who needs one) and hosts provide milk/tea/coffee/cereal/juice/bottled water/fruit which is extremely generous. Downstairs also has a small seating area and the bathroom. Upstairs is a large space with two double beds, large tv, dvds, board games, xbox (one controller), hdmi cable if you have your own laptop, and a fascinating collection of National Geographic magazines. Ample towels are provided, including two beach towels. There are even sensor lights in strategic places to make it easy to navigate at night without turning the room lights on.
Free wifi is provided (although it can be a bit temperamental), and there are maps and brochures to give you ideas.
Highly recommended. They've thought of every consideration possible. Thanks again.
