I had a terrific five weeks stay with Sue and Moet.
Sue is a wonderful host, warm and very easy to chat with, whilst respectful of your privacy. She was always willing to help me out with questions about how to get around the city, what to see etc. or to make sure that I had everything I needed in the house, an extra blanket, towels, mosquito spray and so forth. Moet, the brown Burmese, is absolutely adorable and made me feel right at home.
The place is located in beautiful, green and calm, centrally located Annandale on the border to Glebe. It’s just a 15 min walk to the University of Sydney and the central business district is easily accessible with the light rail. A big supermarket, a liquor store, hairdresser, organic ‘bulk food’ store etc., a weekly framer’s market (Sundays) and a range of restaurants are literally only a minute away at ‘Tramsheds’. Jubilee park is just as close by and offers excellent opportunities for running and relaxing.
The room is bright and welcoming, with a very comfortable bed, big windows, balcony and a wardrobe. The whole house and garden are beautifully decorated with plants, selected pieces of furniture and art works - it really has a personal touch. As I was visiting for a longer period, I particularly appreciated being able to cook in the very well-equipped kitchen (extra plus for the gas stove!).
This place is highly recommended, especially for professionals, long-term stays and female travellers.
