Fiona was a great host, very friendly and welcoming. She was very concerned about our comfort and went out of her way to take care of us. The apartment is very nice. Its on the top (third) floor and gets a lot of light. The apartment building itself was very quiet but there was some street noise (which is what you'd expect for an inner-city apartment!) The apartment is in a great location: tons of bars, cafes and restaurants in very easy walking distance as well as regular and organic supermarkets. Surrey Hills (just down the road) is especially nice. From the apartment you can also easily walk down to central Sydney or to the Botanic gardens.
