My hostess, Caterina, made me feel very welcome indeed and nothing was too much trouble. I felt completely at ease, even though it is her own home - I didn't feel as if I was intruding at all.
The facilities were excellent, and I didn't want for anything.
For me the location was excellent, only 5 minutes walk to Spit Junction with all the shops you need. Just 2 minutes from the flat are takeaway cafes where you can get noodles/dumplings or there is also a pizzeria and a Tapanyaki restaurant if you don't feel like cooking - oh, and a bottle shop! It is also an easy walk down Awaba St to Balmoral Beach, and there is the very convenient 'Balmoral Whale', a free bus service provided by Mosman council, up the very steep hill.
Caterina provided me with a wonderful stay, and I would have no hesitation in recommending her accommodation.
Thanks Cat for everything. I'd like to come back next year.
