We've stayed with Tia and her family for about 4 months. It was the first place we stayed at after we decided to move to Australia. And it was the best decision ever. Tia and her family is absolutely lovely. We received a warm welcome and lot's of tips about what to do and where to go in the area. The apartment is absolutely clean, spacious and lovely decorated so that we immediately felt at home. What can I say, we didn't miss a single thing. Right in front of it is a beautiful terrace and you can often see colourful lorikeets in the tree. Tia and her family supported us a lot and always responded super quickly when we had any questions. The flat is located in Five Dock, which is a very nice area. It's only a couple of meters to the bay and the beautiful Halliday Park as well as to some nice restaurants and cafes. Coles is away only a 10 minute walk in case you worry about grocery shopping. Anyway, I can highly recommend Tia's place... we already miss it actually :)
