I really enjoyed my stay at Jean-Marie's - especially for the location which is right in the heart of buzzing Surry Hills, a location I loved for the excellent cafes, restaurants and pubs. And despite the central location, street noise did not bother me. Jean-Marie was a perfect host: easily contactable and quick to respond, friendly, helpful and very generous, in providing a lovely complementary breakfast and allowing me to store my luggage all day before my departure (well after check-out time). While I was unaware that Jean-Marie's young granddaughter would be staying one of the nights also, she was a gorgeous girl and did not disturb my stay in any way. The room was very clean, warm and comfortable, and the beautiful Indigenous art work on the walls (among much other lovely art) made me feel quite at home, after having worked in Aboriginal communities for the last 5 years. In short, a wonderful stay - thank you Jean-Marie.
