I stayed with Ruth for a bit more than two weeks in October 2017. For my visit to Sydney I was looking for something that was relaxed, was close to the beach, and with good company and I wasn't disappointed. Ruth was a great host with suggestions for things to do or look into based upon my interests. We cooked for each other a few times and even met out for dinner in the city, as well. Ruth's place is about a 10-15 minute walk to Bronte Beach and I grew to love it and its salt water pool the best of all the beaches. Getting to the rest of Sydney is a breeze from Ruth's place, as well.
