We loved this house and working with Tim and Joanna. From the start, Tim was quick to respond to my request and answer my questions. Joanna met us at the house upon our planned arrival and showed us around. She answered all our questions and encouraged us to contact her during our stay should we need to (which we did not). This house is indeed an oasis in the city. It is a short walk to restaurants, shopping, grocery store, public transportation, and a museum. Yet when you walk through the door, you're in a quiet oasis. The kitchen is well equipped to cook with pots, pans, utensils, and dishes. There's fresh bread, butter, milk, and chocolate upon arrival, and the kitchen is stocked with coffee, tea, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper. The lounge is very comfortable for relaxing and enjoying conversation, a good book, or TV. We took advantage of the washing machine during our six day stay, and the detergent was even provided. The bedrooms were very comfortable with lots of storage, the bathroom roomy and well lit, and the 2 patios ideal to enjoy coffee or a glass of wine. We had fabulous meals at the nearby Vietnamese restaurant Red Lantern on Riley and the French restaurant Claire's Kitchen on Oxford, and a very good Italian meal at La Pesa Trattoria on Liverpool. I would not hesitate to stay here again were we back in Sydney. Highly recommend. Thanks Tim and Joanna. We loved our time in Sydney.
