This home is perfectly located in the heart of Balmain. It's a short, flat walk to transport, restaurants, bars, cafes and shops. The house can be divided into two components. There is a light, airy modernized top floor with large balconies on either end, one of which affords great views of Sydney. Here are two bedrooms, a bathroom and the main living area. This area has a part glazed roof which makes it very light but incredibly hot when the sun is shining. There is no a/c so the floor fans are essential for comfort during peak summer. The ground floor, in contrast, except for a modernized bathroom, retains the original layout of the house. It has an older style kitchen, sitting room and bedroom.
Lara and Pete were wonderfully responsive hosts who did everything they could to make our stay as good as it could be.
