I stayed at Chris’s place as a sole traveler visiting my children in October.
The apartment is well located, with a bus stop directly opposite that could take me directly into Avalon or Manly, which was really very useful given my lack of knowledge of navigating Sydney’s public transport.
The excellent Newport pub down the road was a regular visit for most of my stay, and served many different functions ranging from a quiet pint in, to a family dinner, to watching the rugby!
The apartment was private and low maintenance, and I didn’t feel like I was imposing as I might have done in someone’s granny flat. Overall, it suited my purposes perfectly, and I’d happily stay again next time.
