Kova is a very pleasant host who made sure all our basic needs are met.. And more! She gave us a detailed tour of the house, garage and amenities in the complex. Our 2 year old son instantly liked her and the house! She let him borrow her grandson's old toys, books and scooter as well! On our first day of stay, we were very hungry from an early flight but too tired to go out for lunch. Finding some bread and a variety of spreads in the fridge was priceless. After a tour of the busy city in Sydney made us realize that Kova's place was perfect for a good night's rest.. It was peaceful and quiet.. The apartment was spanking clean! We did not feel rushed in the morning to go out of the house because the environment was very relaxing. I would say, we stayed about 40% of our time in Sydney at the house -- that's how much we've enjoyed it. We would have spent more time if we stayed longer. I can go on and on about everything we love about Kova's place! 30mins bus to the city and 30mins bus to the beach (talk about having the best of both worlds?!). I would highly recommend this place especially for families. Would absolutely want to stay here again at another chance. Thanks Kova for your hospitality and for sharing your home, this being the most wonderful and memorable stay :)
