My family (wife and 2 teenage kids) and I stayed in Joy's apartment for 6 nights. Joy was a superb host and although we did not see her much due to our busy schedule, she was most helpful. Communication before and during our stay was excellent. The apartment is on the 1st floor, above Joy's apartment, and although it is beside a busy road (and so there is a bit of noise from traffic), right outside is a bus stop where you can get you can get a bus right Into the city centre. Takes around 40 min to get in. You also need to get a bus if you want to pick up groceries as the nearest supermarket is several kms away. Nearby garage is good for milk/bread. Coogee beach is about a 15 min walk away along the coastal path and a very enjoyable walk. Apartment was as described, clean and comfortable. Would recommend.
