Although we didn't meet Galina or Tom, they were easy to get in touch with and were helpful. The listing of the apartment was as shown in the pictures and it was very clean. The apartment might be near to the train tracks but the noise wasn’t that loud and you may not notice it. Marrickville train station is only 3 minutes away making it really easy to get to the city(about 25mins) There are many small cafes and a Woolworths supermarket nearby. We had a great and comfortable stay at the apartment, highly recommend to stay at her apartment if you are traveling to Sydney.
