Annie makes you feel at home. She and her other guests love having a chat with you but give you de privacy you need/want. The two cats Sam and Bella are really sweet and they won't disturb you if you don't want them to. But if you do like cuddles, Sam is in for it.
The view of the place is absolutely stunning! Sydney city center and Bondi Beach were very easily reachable by public transport, but Balmain itself is also a very nice area.
