My friends and I live far apart but we all needed to spend one night in Sydney for Vivid 2013 so we chose Spencer's and we were very happy with our decision. Spencer was a great host. I always got super fast response from messaging with him. When we got there, we were greeted by Oscar! Too bad we didn't spend much time with him but he was very sweet when we were leaving the next morning. The place was very clean and tidy. We had a really nice and warm stay though the weather at that weekend was crazy. I strongly recommend Spencer's to anyone who looks for a clean and quiet place near the city :)
