Carolyn met me at the apartment as arranged and was most welcoming and ensured I had all I needed. The apartment is charming and just as it is described. I was able to make use of the garage for my car which was a great help. Balmain is a very pretty suburb and close to the city. Although it rained heavily for my entire stay (I will have to return!) this did not interfere too much with my stay as I was visiting friends. I would recommend this host. Thank you Carolyn!
