Karolin est une personne super gentille toujours prête à rendre service .appartement très propre
Chambre agréableJuly 2018
The unit was good & my room fine. It is close a supermarket & transport to the city (by bus about 30 mins). The only probem was that I stayed in June & it was really cold with no heating.

Karolyn is a very friendly host, the room is perfect to stay in while exploring Sydney! Public transport is right there, Alexandria/Rosebery/Botany itself is also worth a visit (Grounds of Alexandria, Rosebery Cannery)! Thanks a lot, Karolyn!

Very good stay at Karolyn's place I felt immediately at ease! Karolyn is a very nice and nice young woman. Its apartment is very well located and close to any convenience: bus, train and airport. Only small problem: the room rented overlooks a busy street and over a garage. I got used to it and that did not prevent me from sleeping! Very nice experience during my stay at Karolyn!

Karolyn was so friendly and welcoming. I had a very comfortable stay with her.
