Leysley's house is a brilliant example of what fine architecture is capable of. The small victorian townhouses in this part of Redfern come with clear limits in space. Furthermore, the original layout of these buildings to not serve contemporary needs, depending on need and tastes.
Lesley's house has been re-modeled with a lot of care and respect for the history of the place. It combines the typical victorian period influenced Sydney town house style with modern features such as high ceilings, airy rooms that are flooded with natural light, places to sit outdoors, both upstairs and on the ground floor.
Lesley's openness to people, ideas and influences from other cultures is reflected in the very personal set of furniture and artefacts. This is a home of a broad mind. Not a sterile corporate flat. And our host was very kind, responsive and flexible and most of all: Always most interesting to talk to.
We can fully recommend to stay at Lesley's great house in wonderful, lively and diverse Redfern.
