We thoroughly enjoyed the neighbourhood. Quiet, authentic (with many residents having lived there for decades. We had a long conversation with a chap of Italian heritage who lived a few doors up from Tony and Kate's place, who bought there in 1967) and with interesting views back to city as you walk back from Norton St. Easy walk to the many coffee shops and restaurants in Norton St. Would thoroughly recommend Jasmin1 in Marion St for Lebanese food and Royal Hotel (on the balcony if a nice day) in Norton St. Any number of good Italian restaurants in the area. Within easy drive a must visit place to is the Tramsheds built on the site of the old Harold Park trotting course (you can even park there and catch the light rail into Darling Harbour and the City). Great example of urban renewal.
