As everyone else says, Jo is an exceptionally welcoming and warm host. She checked in often to see how us New Yorkers were getting on in Sydney. Her enthusiasm for hosting shows in her lovely studio. The bed and couch were extremely comfortable, and the wifi was speedy! The bathroom was beautiful and clean. Jo was kind enough to leave bread, some breakfast options, and milk for us when we arrived. The area is beautiful, although, accessibility wise, it should be noted that the property is located on a pretty steep hill. Walk a very short distance up or down the hill for easy bus rides to the city or Manly Beach. We had an incredible stay! You won't regret booking the Studio!
