Alda's terrace was as described and quite charming. There was a claw foot bath in the bathroom which had the shower in it. This was fine for us but may be something to take into account for shorter or less agile guests. The front verandah was sunny. It is approx 600 metres to Stanmore Train Station where the trains ran regularly into Circular Quay. There was also an IGA and a takeaway shop just opposite the train station. We got great fish and chips from the takeaway. Altogether a pleasant stay.
