I loved living in Lyndell's house in Enmore.

I would definitely recommend this place for families and people with young children/

Location/transport –
The house is in close proximity (walking distance) of Enmore Road and King Street. These streets have some unique vintage shops and many Thai and Vietnamese restaurants. My family and I consistently found parking on Augustus Street or Charles Street. We also used the buses on Enmore Road and the train from Newtown station. The buses and trains came frequently and it cost $3.50(AUD) to travel to most places with an Opal card (bought at the post office or local deli).
I didn't enjoy jogging in the area because the pedestrian paths were narrow, uneven and there were a lot of people.

Host (Lyndell) –
Lyndell was very considerate. We never heard a sound from her early in the morning or late at night. I used the kitchen and made phone calls late at night near her area and she didn't mind. When I or any of my family members felt like having a chat or asking for directions or advice, Lyndell exceeded expectations, for example, I sent her a text message asking for directions once we had left and she was happy to reply straight away to help me.

Facilities –
This house is fully equipped for any situation. Useful household items like aeroguard and sunscreen were provided and other basic items in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry were too. My three family members and I comfortably watched a movie in the living area. Lyndell provided the third room (study) with a mattress and this was comfortable, albeit small and only suitable for one person.

Children –
There are steep steps which may be a danger for small children. The backyard has a huge grass area which would be great for children.

Tranquility –
The garden was a lovely place to read and eat meals. However, most mornings at around 7:00am we heard garbage trucks and street cleaners outside and during the non-curfew times you can hear the aeroplanes flying above the house. This didn't bother me because I was always awake and up before 7:00am, however, I thought it may be good to know for people who like to sleep in.

Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Lyndell's house and would definitely stay there again.

Thank you so much Lyndell, it was truly lovely to meet you and stay at your home.
