Rod's studio is really nice! It feels like home, especially the owner makes big effort guest would have all they needed. The kitchen is very well equipped, there was even coffee, tea, salt, pepper and milk, water and chocolate for us in the fridge. Everything superclean and comfy! There is Aldi next door and many bars and cafes around. The studio is also a walking distance - about 15-20 min - to the Sydney Harbour, and like 10 mins to the downtown and the Central Station. Oxford Street is a block away.
Rod is very welcoming and helpful. Quickly answers all questions and gives hints about the city and the area.
We really enjoyed our stay!
