Phou's place is a lovely renovated terrace in the heart of the very cool Newtown area. The room is at the front of the house on the ground floor which i liked. Also on the ground floor was the sitting room , kitchen and bathroom which I had exclusive use of. Phou and his partner live upstairs with, I assume, their own facilities. The room was sparkling clean and beautifully presented with an oil burner low lights and a fan set up for my arrival. The room has nice heavy curtains which I appreciated as I always try and sleep in if possible. Phou had also bought fresh bread, bacon and eggs and cereals as well as fresh fruit for my "help yourself" breakfast. A lovely experience in the heart of the inner suburbs.
