Friendly and well-meaning host. I work as travel writer and have lived and worked in the UK, Europe, US and Australia. I've travelled more than 100 countries and love meeting people from all over the world. My wide travels also mean I know what makes a good environment in a home away from home - great location, clean, comfort and good value. I've applied all of these to my apartment.

Newtown is one of the main gay areas of Sydney. It's very gay friendly. The cottage is right in the heart of cool Newtown. There are hundreds of great bars, restaurants and cafes right at your doorstep. There's also a shopping strip (King St and Enmore Rd) only 2 minutes walk away where supermarkets, convenience stores, fashion, homewares and quirky shops abound. There's also a laundrette/laundromat where you can drop off your washing or do it yourself for a small fee.
It's also walking distance to the The Carriageworks' arts/theatre centre which is where many Sydney Festival events are held, and on Saturday mornings the 'Eveleigh Farmers Markets' (Sydney's best gourmet market) are held here selling fresh produce and bread, coffee, flowers, cheeses etc. They also hold an arts/craft market once a month.

The best thing about this place is the host: Cameron. He couldn't have been more helpful or courteous. A very sweet man. Example, one night 2 of the 4 of us got locked out. Ringing the bell, thinking to wake our friends, we awakened Cameron at 4am! We late comers were mortified, but Cameron actually apologized for being so bleary eyed when he let us in! And this man has a VERY demanding job which he had to go to the next morning. Ya got to love Australians, they are so nice. The main bedroom is excellent and the AC functions well for the whole place. The second bedroom is not for the tall, since the ceiling is at an angle. A little cramped. But I didn't have problems with it and slept quite comfortably. I wanted extra pillows and got them. A nice park across from this row house. Plenty of buses are near by and the light rail/train station is about 15 minutes walk (and if you catch one of the frequent trains, it is about 15 minutes to the opera house/harbor). I liked Newtown which I found very gay friendly, even if there are no specific gay bars (The Bank is the closest to one). I just happened to go to one bar/restaurant, the Jamaican Inn, by chance for a beer and a sandwich. Next thing I knew it these cute straight guys were beckoning me over for a chat and a beer--on them (a rum chaser too :). The bartender also bought me a beer saying "this is Mardi Gras!" Newtown is a very friendly community. Lots of vegetarian and Thai restaurants. WiFi and television worked perfectly.
