As a single business person, travelling alone, I really liked Helen's studio. While i had complete privacy, I found it comforting to be close to the house and family without us getting in each other's way. The facilities within the studio were excellent and completely self-contained: well equipped kitchen, lovely walk-in shower/bathroom, great bed with good pillows. I also liked how close the studio is to public transport - 3-4 bus routes all good for getting in to Central. Helen was always available to answer questions or provide directions for getting around.
Clovelly is a lovely suburb but quite hilly, so could be a bit tiring if you're not into walking. The walks along the coast from Clovelly to Coogee or the other way to Bondi are fantastic.
