We spent an extended period in Sydney at Kathleen’s place (about 6 weeks in total across 2 stays) while visiting for work- and some fun! First, the location is great- residential and quiet but within short walking distance to neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, groceries, and a few parks. We had initially thought we’d “try” another neighborhood for our last week in Sydney and ended up wanting to be back in Waterloo.
The house is well appointed and comfortable. It was just the two of us, but we had been looking for somewhere we could comfortably live - including cooking and working from home. Comfortable bed, desks everywhere, well-equipped kitchen - We easily settled into a routine not so different from ours at home, which was exactly what we needed to enjoy our time. It was easy to find everything - Kathleen left detailed notes and was so easy to communicate with and understanding.
It was hard to leave! Now that we are home, we are taking some inspiration from the incredible houseplant situation and trying to propagate some of our plants and see where else we can add some greenery :)
