A lot of problems with the internet. The modem in the room doesn’t work. There is a portable wifi device, but it runs out of data quite quickly and then he host needs to be notified to manually reload it. This happened a few times and felt like a huge hassle and inconvenience. For bigger data usage, we depended on cafés with free wifi.
The space is small, and would be fine for travelers looking for somewhere to stay for a night or two, but anything beyond that is a stretch. We stayed for a week, and are only traveling with a backpack each, and still felt like there was nowhere to put our things.
As far as cooking, there is a portable stove in the room, but no counter space whatsoever.
The location is good, so for anyone making a quick stop in Sydney for a night or two, it’s not a bad option. The space is clean and warm - it has a space heater.
For anyone needing a liveable space for more than a couple of days, or anyone needing to use the internet, it’s a frustrating experience and we wouldn’t recommend it.
