We stayed at Ping's place for our last 2 nights in NSW, and it was perfect for our needs. We had a hire car, and were mainly visiting friends around north shore, and it was very convenient, with no problem getting a street park outside the house. The view at the back of the house was very refreshing, and everything was clean, comfortable and fragrant :-) Ping was away but her friend Sabrina was there taking care of things and she is very friendly. It was a smooth and pleasant stay. Some people would have trouble with the long staircase at entry, but it was fine for us.
