Neighborhood Overview: Here are some of the many places to eat, drink and enjoy near our place. Cafes It is hard to have a bad cafe experience in Erskineville/Alexandria (let us know if you do). The possibilities are nearly endless and we have only explored a fraction ourselves. These are our regulars: Ella Guru, 104A Swanson St, Erskineville NSW 2043 Closest cafe - very friendly and good value. Toasted sandwiches a great quick lunch. Meet Gerard, 54 Henderson Rd, Alexandria NSW 2015 Further to walk but our favourite by far. Excellent coffee and delicious breakfasts, cakes and sandwiches. If you need to get a train from Redfern Station (e.g. to go to Bondi Junction) then this is a good place to fuel up on caffeine on your walk to the station. Restaurants Again you’ll struggle to find a bad meal. There are a small number of restaurants along Erskineville Road which are all pretty good and if you venture to King Street...well you can have just about anything. Here are the local places that draw us back agai

Notes: Here are few things to be aware of: In most parts of Sydney - especially in summer - it is almost impossible to live completely free of bugs like mosquitoes and cockroaches. We have the house professionally cleaned before your stay and use repellents. However, since the weather suits having the windows and doors open, it is very difficult to completely rid a house of them. We have left some repellent, spray and mosquito coils but otherwise, we hope they don’t disrupt your stay. Sydney can get very hot in the summer months. By keeping blinds down during the day (including the lightwell in the kitchen), and running the fan and leaving windows open at night, it usually stays a very pleasant temperature. There is aircon in the upstairs bedroom if you need it. Unfortunately some years we get a string of super hot days. We do hope the temperature is pleasant for you. This is our home most of the year, so some things might be a little different to professionally run accommodation. We hope tha

Transit: Getting there: 5 Ada Street is a short taxi or Uber ride from the airport. We are also a 5 minute walk from Erskineville Station. However, the airport train is about $18 one way (depending on times), so for two people it is often a similar price to take an Uber/taxi, unless you are in the middle of peak hour (around 7:30-9am or 4:30-6:30pm) when traffic is very heavy. Public transport: There a several train stations at a short walking distance: Erskineville (5 mins), MacDonald Town (10 mins), Newtown (10 mins) and Redfern (20 mins). From Erskineville Station you can take a train directly to Circular Quay and the harbour. You can also take the train to Central (two stops), which has connections to the airport. We encourage you to get an Opal card from a newsagent of seven eleven (there is one just past the station on Erskineville road). This is a pre-paid card that is necessary for many trains and busses and can be used on all public transport including ferries (check fares here (Webs
