We had a great time in Sydney and in the "very homey stay" of Uldis. It was easy to deal with Uldis. Without much talking, he gave us very detailed and precious introduction just at the right time. The accomodation is as promised. We were able to use all the equipment he is living with. The kitchen equipement is very detailed, we could prepare our most delicious meal there! :-)
The flat is located in a calm street between the city and the great beaches. The city is to reach easy by train, best deal is to take the buses (There's an App available to find the routes). It's very complex in Sydney, but it worth. Get your Opal-Card, do around 8 short trips and the rest of the week is free! (Was a nice surprise.)
