Peaceful Retreat: Linda and Cem offer a clean and quiet apartment (private studio with the possibility of an extra room) overlooking their garden. Furnishings are plain, but comfortable, especially the bed, which has individual reading lights. The kitchen corner (hot plate, microwave, toaster and electric kettle) makes it possible to prepare simple meals at home - to enjoy out on the verandah. The bathroom is modern and wifi reception is excellent. Linda and Cem are warm and welcoming hosts, helping us with the occasional ride to the station and a hand with luggage (the path and stairs up to the studio are steep - not for the frail and elderly). At the moment the apartment is equipped only with fans for hot weather, but Linda is considering installing air-conditioning for next summer.
The apartment is a five-minute walk from the bus stop and small shopping centre. The bus takes 10 minutes to Turramurra Station (but check the schedule available in the room, service is infrequent) and then 40 minutes or so downtown by train. The shopping centre has several restaurants and a bottle shop/convenience store where you can buy basic supplies.
We have stayed at the Studio twice, now - our thanks again to Linda and Cem.
