Shane's place is in a really cool area of town. Packed with very alternative coffee shops, eateries, book and clothes shops, Newtown is a great place to sit with a coffee and question your own fashion sense.
The accommodation is querky and does the job for a base to explore the city from.
Shane was very accommodating and very laid back. Came and met me on the main street and led the way back to the apartment.
Will be staying at Shane's next time I come to Sydney as long as it's not booked out as he seems to have bookings almost constantly.
Very good value, would recommend.
