I organised a trip for a friend. These were her comments: Ellen is a fantastic host who has a lovely private home. It is incredibly clean, well equipped and extremely functional. I especially loved the big alfresco area, great for entertaining. Ellen will be as involved as you want her to be, but because I was travelling alone, she became my Sydney Mum and helped me with my whole trip! Out of the graciousness of her heart, she gave me lifts to my Conference, left food for me because my flight was getting in late and helped me navigate public transport with her knowledge of the area. What a privilege it was to meet Ellen and have her host me. I would have no hesitation recommending this to anyone. Plus it’s only 10min walk to the train station and shops... so handy.
