We had a room within Sherine's home, with our own separate entrance and bathroom. The house itself is absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean. It has a fully equipped kitchen and an outdoor swimming pool. Great views over Balmoral Bay.
Location: only about 5 minutes walk from Spit Junction or from Mosman centre with access to busses and a large number of restaurants and shops. The B1 bus from Wynyard (downtown) is only 2 stops to Spit Junction. Balmoral beach is a brisk 7-8 minutes walk downhill (although coming back up the hill takes somewhat longer).
Sherine: Sherine is a wonderful host. She texted us almost daily to make sure everything was OK and with suggestions for dinner. We also met her family who were very friendly and we felt very welcome with their warm reception. We felt more like visiting friends than paying guests.
Overall impression: A very clean, well equipped stylish home in an upmarket district of North Sydney. HIGHLY recommended.
