This is a great place if you are looking for an affordable place a little farther from Sydney's business district. The ferry was only a 5-7 minute walk away and was inexpensive. If you are relying on Uber or taxi service, it is farther from the city, as you have to go "around" to get there. Lindsay and Minny were great hosts. They left me a little welcome surprise and were quick to answer any questions that I had. I felt safe both in the room and the neighborhood as well as walking alone to the ferry. Sydney is a great city to visit, and staying here in Balmain was an excellent choice for me! The pictures of the room are accurate. Thanks, Lindsay and Minny for your hospitality.
