Tia's place was lovely - bright, spacious and airy, and very well equipped. It was especially great having a washing machine after so many days travelling. Both Tia and her brother were charming and very welcoming and helpful; nothing was too much trouble and it was a pleasure talking to them
We used both ferries and buses to get around Sydney - both easily accesible from the apartment, although the ferry was quite a long walk. However you can park near the wharf which makes it easier.
