We had the pleasure of staying at Sally's place the nights of 11/14-15. Her place was in a great location to tour the city and perfect for 2 people. Sally was out of town, but her dad, John, contacted us via email and we called him upon arrival and he arrived to greet us within 20 mins. He is such a gentlemen (and Sally you are a lucky person to have a great dad like him!) and he showed us around the complex, pointed out things to see from the roof-top pool and gave us tips on what to see. There are lots of brochures and a detailed book with all you need to know in the apt (i.e. restaurants, laundry, taxi info, etc). Another lovely touch was the chocolates and wine left in fridge. Note: The apt. is ~2-3 miles from cruise port and taxi charge was ~$16US. Also, we used Air Bus Sydney shuttle to get to airport and the cost for 2 people was $34AUD and they picked us up right at door in lobby.
When we get back to Sydney we will definitely try to book Sally's apt. again!
