I had a very good 10 days at Emilia's place. She is a very polite and well educated woman. As a long term resident of Sydney she offered many great local tips about what to visit and to do. Also I got to learn about the Australian culture and lifestyle during our little chats. The place is situated in a very quiet neighborhood yet it is walking distance from a shopping mall. There aren't many restaurants nearby other than the 24 hour open McDonals which is 5 min away. There is a nearby bus stop that has busses to the city centre (30-40 min) and to Manly beach (10min).
