Our stay at Ian's was fantastic. We basically had the whole upstairs to ourselves. We never met Ian, but Philip greeted us upon arrival and was an absolute superstar host during our whole visit. He gave us excellent travel and sightseeing tips and made sure we were comfortable in the house. The train station is a 5-minute walk away, and it's a short ride to the main attractions of Sydney Harbour. Newtown is a lively, vibrant neighborhood with plenty of restaurants, bars, shops, clubs and cafes. Everything about our stay was satisfactory. Thanks!
