Having read some bad reviews we were nervous about this house but overall I would say it was good value for money in a central location, you won't find many houses with a pool in the Eastern Suburbs at this price.
The downside was on entering the house you are greeted with a "musty" smell. This was disappointing after a very long flight and not the best first impression. However after checking everywhere we found the house to be very clean in every room. The smell comes from it being an old house which could do with a bit of an update we think. The hallway is a bit dark and dingy but we expected that in an older style house.
The pool was great and although it is shared with next door, it is in your garden and we never saw the neighbours. The house was good for what we wanted, a base in the eastern suburbs to catch up with friends and very easy to get ubers anywhere you wanted to go. You can walk down to Bronte beach but we always got an uber back up the hill!
