Our stay was managed by Pearl, a friend of Tahira's. She was quite communicative before our arrival (giving is info on things like driving times to local landmarks) and was even happy to come over and meet us when we arrived earlier than expected.

The house was a clean family home which was situated in a nice location, nearby there were shops with a general store, as well as fresh produce and baked goods. Buses were also frequent on stops nearby (though a trip to the airport was set to cost $30, when most fares are closer to the $2 mark. This wasn't a problem with the house, but something for international travelers to be aware of).

The rooms and bedding were clean, but one of the rooms was obviously for children, and had a bed to match. This was a problem for our group which consisted of 3 adults but it would be perfect for a family.

The parking was on street and signs indicated that it was only supposed to be during the day (from around 8am - 10pm) which we were told wasn't enforced. We had no problems but it is something to be aware of if you are driving.

Overall our stay was a good experience, and the proximity to local shops and the city center limited our need to drive (which I always find to be a good thing in Sydney). If you're looking for low cost accommodation near the center of Sydney (especially if you are traveling with children) you would be hard pressed to find somewhere better.
