Martin was out traveling at the time we were arriving, but he gave us good information over the telephone and his mother showed us around in the house when we arrived. Since we like to sleep with open window, the host moved us to a room away from the traffic noise in the front to back of the house facing the swimming pool. The bed was a big kingsize and very comfortable. The house did not have aircondition but the electric fan in the room was making the stay comfortable. My wife was a visitor on Macquarie University for 4 weeks and she could not have a shorter way to go since it is just on the other side of the main road. The host and his mother was to very helping people and we both enjoyed to get to know them.
