Sendy is a lovely host - her apartment is very zen, calm and I love the sustainability touches she uses. There is a balcony that has a great view of the sea and one of the cliff walks is just a few metres from her front door. I found the location lovely - lots of buses are close by and supermarket, cafes.. My favourite thing to do, which Sendy suggested, was to catch the bus to Watson's Bay and watch the sunset. You can also get a coffee or a meal including eating at the famous fish and chips restaurant; Doyles. I went most evenings for a quiet end to the day and the ferry from circular quay lands there too, or get off at Rose Bay and take buses to Watson's Bay or another bus that takes you close to home... Watson's Bay only about 10 minutes away by bus. Bondi beach and Bondi Junction train station is also close. Vaucluse house is on a bus route too. It's a must see if you are into historic houses and homesteading, and they have a gorgeous tea room separate to the mansion, stables, pleasure garden and vegie patch. 2 other historic houses are nearby but in these, you can only walk the grounds; not enter the houses. Evidently, you can do a walk from Watson's Bay to Vaucluse House via the famous library coffee shop and the Parsley Bay pedestrian bridge... Sendy also has a list of her favourite eateries with her AirBNB info. Going into town can take a while. I also found that, you can get to the airport cheaply - catch a bus or train to Mascot train station and then get the 400 or 420 bus from Coward St around the corner. You can use your ordinary Opal travel card.
