Vaucluse is one of Sydney's best suburbs, and I go there very often. I like it because it has the best beaches on the southern shore of the harbour (if you count tiny Watson's Bay as part of Vaucluse -- which I do.) Lindsay's place is right next to one of these beaches, and the others are a modest, but thoroughly pleasant, walk away. Public transport (bus plus ferry) is excellent, but shopping is best done by car, and local driving is easy. (Parking is right at your doorstep.) The flat itself is thoroughly comfortable, spacious and properly equipped.
