Marc's place is great if you want to stay outside central Sydney but still be in a city setting. Conveniently located near a major grocery store and public transit lines. Lots of shops and restaurants that line the major streets nearby. We had our 5yr old with us and there seemed to be lots of other kids around that age to make friends with. Marc himself was a great host - he met us when we arrived and gave a personal tour of the apartment. He was also available to answer questions at any time.
