My friend and I stayed at Marlene's place on New Year's Eve 2020. Marlene's house is very homey and clean, and Marlene is a wonderful hostess. Marlene was very responsive to all of my messages before my stay. She was flexible with check-in time and method, even with uncertainty in my schedule due to NYE. Marlene not only provided my friend and I a confortable place to sleep, but she provided us breakfast and lots of pleasant conversation the next morning. Marlene's house is in a quiet area outside of the city (it is easy to access from the city via public transit), so it is perfect for getting a good night's sleep after a long day in Sydney.
