The place is (as shown on the photos) extremely clean, comfortable, quiet, with a small balcony facing the garden, oriented north (so facing the sun all day long)
Rick and his wife are very helpful and reactive. They even drove me one saturday evening to the hospital downtown, local clinics being closed, as I needed fairly urgent treatment and examination.
The location is great, away from downtown in a quiet and green area, near the east coast. If you have a car, no problem for parking. If not (my case, I stayed there for one month), there are several bus connections to Bondi Junction (one bus stop is just in front of the house, with a bus every 20 minutes. This bus also goes north, in the opposite direction, to Watson's bay. From there, ferries operate regularly to downtown-circular quay- or other destinations on the northern side of the city). There is also a wonderful coastal walk on the cliffs facing the Tasmanian sea, either going north till Watson's Bay and Southhead, or south till Maroubra beach, passing the beaches of Bondi, Tamarama, Bronte, Coogee. Another option, still at walking distance (30 mins), is to cross the peninsula and reach Rose bay, and heading north, the Nielsen Park, by a very nice and well-maintained path, along several small beaches.
