Nestled towards the rear of a "gated community" of around half a dozen private homes, this guest suite is a gem for the traveller who wants quietude combined with all the creature comforts of home, as well as being well situated to local shops and cafes, and a 15-minute drive into the CBD. Trudy has created a livable space that differentiates itself from the clinical feel of a hotel by way of her attention to the small details and considered touches to provide for your wants before you even realise that you might want them. The provision of a bowl of fruit, real milk (not the long-life variety), breakfast muffins, cereals, butter, jams, tea and coffee were lovely gestures that provided the option to have a lazy morning at home rather than having to duck out early for breakfast. Whilst certainly unexpected, they were thoughtful touches that made my experience more the memorable, carefree and enjoyable. Trudy's description and photos of the premises are spot-on, and her welcome pack contains comprehensive and useful information for visitors who may not necessarily be familiar with the area. Her communication is always prompt, never intrusive, and she is always more than willing to assist should the need arise. I booked in for a three-night stay and the purpose of my visit was business. What stood out for me was the fact that I pretty much had everything I needed, including things like sugar, dishwashing detergent, sponges and tea towels - many of these things are often missing or poorly supplied in self-contained corporate-style accommodation. This is not the case for Trudy. Take a look under the kitchenette sink and you'll find everything you might need. Similarly, when you open up the bathroom cupboard. You can tell that a lot of thought and consideration has been made to help make your stay as comfortable as possible. Oh, and great hot water pressure in the spacious shower recess is a huge tick of approval in my book! If you have a vehicle this must be parked out on the street. (It's approximately 70m to the street from the guest suite, up the communal driveway.) There is ample unrestricted street parking. Trudy is very up-front about this issue, so it should come as no surprise to you should you choose to stay, and frankly the issue shouldn't negatively affect your stay either as it's not really all that different to parking your vehicle in a hotel car park. If it really worries you, here are some statistics: Sydney experiences an average of 100 rainy days in a year. This equates to a 27.5% chance, on average, of getting rained on whilst you're visiting. If you don't like those odds perhaps you should travel with an umbrella 🙂 In all seriousness and candour, the unexpected but welcome thoughtful additions as mentioned above are what have made my stay an extremely pleasant and positive one. I recommend Trudy as an AirBnB host without reservation and would most definitely...
