When I first contacted Sam, he happened to be out of town but Daniel was looking after the place. Him and his partner were awesome people as well. Daniel helped me with all questions I had about Sydney or australia or the home or whatever I needed. At first it was overwhelming sharing a house with more guests (they had other guests but I had my private room) but all the guests were sweet and I got to know them and had great convos with them. Felt comfortable by the second day. I was scepticle about the neighborhood at first before I arrived but Daniel told me about the history of Redfern. I got there and I felt very safe walking around in Redfern area. It's a slowly but surely upcoming small hip area. Only 5 min walk to Redfern station. You can catch the train to Newtown which is just a stop or two away or go to CBD or go take the train to Bondi or town hall or Central and branch out from there to other area via train or bus. It was close to most things for sure. Had no trouble staying so I would recommend it.
