We chose Gareth/Paty's place as we wanted a nice, clean and cosy apartment setting (with all the facilities mentioned) that was close to our daughter's university accommodation at Queen Mary Building (QMB) - and they did not disappoint at all - we were more than satisfied and happy with the place, location and convenience.
Their place is close-by to a 7-11 convenience shop where I had bought (on the night of our arrival) Opal travel cards and pre-paid SIM cards for our stay in Sydney. It is only a few mins walk to QMB, cafes, a nice pizza joint, a park, shops, bus stops and buses which can take you practically anywhere around Sydney.
The place itself has all that is required for a very comfortable stay where one can store food and provisions and cook our own meals, etc.
Last but not least, though we had limited interaction with our hosts (who were mostly out - as we were too), they were very approachable, friendly and nice to talk to - besides having local knowledge to guide us during our stay there.
This place is highly recommended for any single/couple who wants to have a really decent, clean and comfortable place to stay in Sydney which is well maintained and located!
