Jackie's the best. Our dog, Blanche, will never want to holiday anyplace else as Jackie's yard was perfect (and fully secured, even for a curious bull terrier). The granny flat was ideal for us two humans, and even came equipped with some dog chow where you'd normally expect (and in addition to) tea and coffee making supplies! Even canine-free I'd highly recommend Jackie's spot -- I've lived in Sydney for over a decade but not spent any significant time in Balmain and this oasis offers a two minute walk from action without the noise, right in the centre of gorgeous residential neighbourhoods and a vibrant cafe culture. We found free street parking 20m from the flat and left the car for the entirety of the long weekend. I can't wait to return (she could charge heaps more for this spot, so I hope I'm grandfathered in!).
