Shane's place was exactly as pictured. My room was large and clean and the bed was comfortable. The flat is located in the midst of Newtown, Sydney which is very active. One is close to all sorts of eateries, drinking establishments, cinema, etc. It's a happening part of town but the house is quite quiet as it is removed a bit from the main street. Shane himself has an enormous collection of films and is interesting to talk to. One does have to go down a flight of stairs to reach the sole bathroom so older people might want to factor this into consideration. It is very much a lived in house but I rather liked this feature. It's large, clean, and has all the usual amenities. I'd recommend it and wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Lastly, Shane was very prompt in communicating which is always nice!
