Wiam and her family was very nice, smart and helpful. We loved to staying there and had a very good time. The service was awesome. You get fresh towels, a clean room and a private bathroom. You get all what you need and can perfectly relax after a long day of sightseeing or whatever you have to do. They had a dog, who was super sweet, smart and friendly. Although they have a little sweet dog, it were no problem with the hairs or anything else. All of the rooms were very clean. So it should be no problem for the people who don’t have dogs. Same as for allergic people. The transportation to the center and the other connections were although no problem. You get there very cheap with the bus or take one of the ferry’s which are not far away. All in all the family and the place is very comfortable and the room is very clean and cozy. We would recommend this place and would everytime come back and spend some days in peace after a busy day in the city center. We couldn’t believe that Balmain is such a good place to be and is worth to see, when you be in Sydney.
