We spent one really good week in Denise's flat. It's a good place to stay with friends if you have time to visit Sydney. The room is very quite and the bed really good, with beautiful linnen. The kitchen is full of stuff to cook, we appreciate that ! Denise let us all the informations we need and plenty of space to put our own clothes and food. It takes 20 minutes by bus to the CBD. You can walk to Newton at night if you want to have a drink in a bar or eating in a restaurant.
The only negative point is that we need to take the bus for food shopping because the nearest supermarket is expensive. We enjoyed our new years eve break !
