I had a great time. Liz and her partner were extremely nice, and they really made me feel at home. The house itself is great, with modern kitchen and bathrooms, and numerous entertainment options, including a large collection of CDs and books for all ages. There is also a flat-screen TV with PVR, a collection of children's toys, and a nice garden with a Wollemi pine among other things.

To get downtown I just walked five minutes to the train stop; the trains come every 20 minutes most of the day.

Staying with Liz was a lot better than staying at a hotel, I will definitely try to book with her again next time I visit Sydney.
