Sydney is expensive, so I think that staying at Min's place is a good alternative to other options. It was great to be able to use the kitchen and the couch actually folds out into a comfortable second bed if you need that. The building and area are a bit rough around the edges, but the unit is only a few blocks from the train station and easy to get into the city. Min was great with communication, staying in touch with us as we had a 12 hour delay in our travel plans. She even met us at the airport to make sure we had a key to get in after hours! We appreciated her care and communication.
