I attended a conference in the city and am grateful to Spencer for his well placed, airy and cheerful apartment and gracious hosting - this included early morning wake up calls to ensure I would not be late. The bedroom contains a comfortable bed, good pillows, bedside table, plenty of cupboard space and its own TV. There is a separate fridge for guests to use, which is great. Spencer has lots of tourist literature available to help guests enjoy Sydney. Oscar responds well to Schmakos which Spencer has in plentiful supply to help you make friends with his dog. I had no time to explore the gym and pool and was happy to do some work and have a cup of tea on the balcony. Nearby are the fruit shop, an IGA, various eateries, an interesting op shop and cafes. I took up one of Spencer's suggestion to try out the nearby unpretentious Wah Fund BBQ.restaurant. I can recommend its inexpensive and generous (2 person portions) of sliced duck and egg noodles tossed in oyster sauce. Beware that the Redfern train station does not have lifts so pack well and travel lightly. If you are a light sleeper, you may require ear plugs but I slept soundly every night. The apartment is as photographed, with the bedroom at one end of the apartment, near the balcony. Spencer responds patiently and quickly to enquiries, which is helpful for getting ready to come to Sydney and to get to his apartment.
