My partner and I stayed at Andrew's place for a month. It's a terrific place to stay for a couple or family - stylish and spacious with lots of natural light and a lovely open aspect perfect for enjoying storms. The two bathrooms were a bonus, one with a large bathtub as well as a shower. There's also a large balcony where you can watch the local birds and a paved courtyard rimmed with bamboo.
There were lots of thoughtful touches such as boardgames and a varied selection of DVDs. Andrew was also a very responsive host, checking in to see that things were going ok and responding immediately to text messages.
The location was perfect - just 5 mins from the station and 10 minutes walk to Erskineville and Newtown, yet without the bustle and noisiness of staying right on King St. There's a plethora of fantastic restaurants all within walking distance, as well as movies, parks and even a rock climbing gym ( totally recommend!) Our favourite spot to visit, though, was Sydney Park, with its landscaped wetlands, jogging trail, workout area and coffee shop (great dog-watching opportunities too).
Overall we had a great stay and felt quite nostalgic when we left - ut had really started to feel like home!
