We just had a wonderful week visiting Marrickville and staying at Patricia's gorgeous apartment. The apartment was spacious, light filled, comfortable, spotlessly clean and secure. The bed was comfy, the shower hot and there was plenty of storage for putting our things away. Patricia had picked up that we were worried about heating and she made sure the two space heaters were on for our arrival. The apartment is well situated, easy walking distance to Marrickville's many cafes and main streets. When we did use the car, it was always possible to find a park on the side street close to the apartment. We felt safe all the time. Just half a block away from the apartment is a great little Thai restaurant. Half a block the other way is a very nice coffee and breakfast spot. There is a vibrancy about Marrickville that was very attractive. Just as trendy is Newtown just a 10 minute drive away. The traffic and airplane noise was not an issue, you noted it but it didn't interfere with anything. You are in the inner West. We could easily stay again. Thank you Patricia.
