Petra's place was exactly as described - rustic and overall I found it to be peaceful and private, as far as sharehouses go.
For me the access to Centennial Park and the various beaches and trails was the big sell.
The only downside being the weekend rugby matches out the front and the traffic one expects form a main road but you could do a lot worse in Sydney. I have. A lot worse.
Finding a host who represents their property honestly is more than half the battle that's why I'm giving it 5 stars.
