We had a fantastic time with michelle and highly recommend staying with her! We stayed at her place for a whole week and it was like staying with family. Michelle makes you feel at home and we had a good laugh over a glass of wine in the evenigs watching movies together. The communication was great and michelle had lot's of good tips for us about things to do. She takes good care of yoy and is an amazing host!
The room is small, but very nice and clean and we had a whole wardrobe for our stuff. We could also use the laundry downstairs for free. There's a bus stop just outside her house which takes you to the train station. I would just recommend taking a taxi to the airport if you are two people because it's about the same prize as public transport (17$ pp for the airport train!).
From michelle's house you can walk to the beach, to coles and several restaurant in 5 min which was very nice.
We will definitely stay with her again when we are visiting Sydney!
