We were very comfortable and the apartment was well stocked with everything we required during our stay. The supermarket was a short walk as were coffee shops and restaurants. As well as being close to The Strand, it is also in walking distance to Castle Hill's Goat Track if you are feeling energetic! We enjoyed everything about staying at Andy's place and highly recommend it. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter M. 28 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Anzac day trip Unit was very good, only complication upstairs room with 2 80 odd year old bit hard to get up and down stairs. good location close to shops pubs etc. would definitely stay again. ##### Peter M.

We can't speak highly enough about this property/host! The location was fantastic - just a few blocks walk to the Strand/beach & the grocery store was even closer. The property itself was awesome- clean & airy, plenty of room with towels & handy amenities provided onsite. Andy was a wonderful host. He messaged me a couple of times w/suggestions for restaurants during our stay. When we first arrived there was no water & he jumped in right away to find out why. Turns out it was just a plumber who had inadvertently forgotten to turn water back on to the complex after a repair. But after traveling so far & being tired, Andy was so helpful in getting that rectified ASAP. Highly recommend this property!! ##### lynn p.
