Jeff was everything we expected from a host, good communication & nice snacks on arrival. Surry Hills has lots of trendy eateries and bars - pricey tho! The main city is easy to access either on foot or via bus or metro. The house is in an up and coming part of the suburb (lots of debris outside houses in the streets nearby). It has character and has been nicely refurbished, we grew fond of our base here. The living room, main bedroom & sunny courtyard are private and nice & quiet. The front bedroom is close to the street and near another busy road so be prepared to hear some noise at times, and definitely on weekends.
