This was my second stay here, this time travelling on my own. I feel very “safe” as a lone female traveler here. Emma is not at all intrusive, you have total privacy even though your in part of their home. It’s an easy walk to the mall where the busses are. I traveled from interstate & made my way easily here using the train from airport to Circular Quay, then ferry to Manly & bus to the nearby Mall. Highly recommend for single or couple travelers.
