Mariana's place is an absolute gem. Yes it's compact, but it's perfect for a solo traveller or a couple. The furnishings are gorgeous and beautifully arranged, the bed is super-comfy, the kitchen is thoughtfully designed with all the amenities you could hope for, and the shower is to die for. The location is excellent too, on a quiet cul-de-sac with lots of good places to eat and drink within an easy walk, and close to public transport for venturing further. Mariana is also an amazing host - I had sprained my ankle a few days before I arrived, and she brought me crutches to use during me stay! From communications before through check-in and during my stay, she was always responsive and helpful. Highly recommended! I'd love to stay again next time I'm in Sydney.
