Karen's place is adorable and the perfect place from which to visit Sydney. First, the location is easy and views are gorgeous. Second, the accommodation is a kitchen, sleeping area, and bathroom - an entire apartment - and it feels like home. Karen was really helpful when I arrived, she met me at the train station and helped with my luggage. Maps and useful tourist information is located in the apartment. Overall, I loved my stay in Lavender Bay at Karen's and would visit again in a heartbeat.
