This is 10 out of 5. Yes, you read right. This house is awesome for a long and short stay. Kurina organizes everything perfect, and Andrew won’t make you bored with sharing his knowledge and experiences. Not directly related, but just want to mention that the bed is comfy as floating in the air.
I have traveled many countries and places so far, but this neighborhood is on a top of my list. Newington itself has a great taste of beauty. Olympic park is also a few minutes away. You will find hidden shortcuts into that is not on G maps. You always enjoy the mixture of nature and artificial design. Btw, my favorite is Brickpit Ring Walk and Heroic Shipwreck. But be careful on Hay Fever (a.k.a. Pollen Allergy) in Oct/Nov. I was about to cut my nose off.
Location is also good. The area is so quiet and safe. You may wake up with lovely sunshine and bird chirping. You can take a ferry to CBD (15-20min) and Bus to Strathfield and Rhodes (approx. 20min). You have libraries in Wentworth Point and Rhodes, Woolworths (5min) and Orange supermarket (this is especially for Asians). You won’t die from hunger.
Andrew and Kurina advice and answer to your questions. I will definitely come back here and recommend to you as well!
